Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training acoustic models. Speech data and data identifying a transcription for the speech data are received. A phonetic representation for the transcription is accessed. Training sequences are identified for a particular phone in the phonetic representation. Each of the training sequences includes a different set of contextual phones surrounding the particular phone. A partitioning key is identified based on a sequence of phones that occurs in each of the training sequences. A processing module to which the identified partitioning key is assigned is selected. Data identifying the training sequences and a portion of the speech data are transmitted to the selected processing module.
