Abstract

Model compression is combined with model compensation. Model compression is needed in embedded ASR to reduce the size and the computational complexity of compressed models. Model-compensation is used to adapt in real-time to changing noise environments. The present invention allows for the design of smaller ASR engines (memory consumption reduced to up to one-sixth) with reduced impact on recognition accuracy and/or robustness to noises.
