Abstract

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) may be performed on received utterances. The ASR may be performed by an ASR module of a computing device (e.g., a client device). The ASR may include: generating feature vectors based on the utterances, updating the feature vectors based on feature-space speaker adaptation parameters, transcribing the utterances to text strings, and updating the feature-space speaker adaptation parameters based on the feature vectors. The transcriptions may be based, at least in part, on an acoustic model and the updated feature vectors. Updated speaker adaptation parameters may be received from another computing device and incorporated into the ASR module.
