Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a set of training utterances. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of obtaining a target multi-dimensional distribution of characteristics in an initial set of candidate utterances and selecting a subset of the initial set of candidate utterances based on speech recognition confidence scores associated with the candidate utterances. Additional actions include selecting a particular candidate utterance from the subset of the initial set of utterances and determining that adding the particular candidate utterance to a set of training utterances reduces a divergence of a multi-dimensional distribution of the characteristics in the set of training utterances from the target multi-dimensional distribution. Further actions include adding the particular candidate utterance to the set of training utterances.
