Abstract

Methods and systems for processing multilingual DNN acoustic models are described. An example method may include receiving training data that includes a respective training data set for each of two or more or languages. A multilingual deep neural network (DNN) acoustic model may be processed based on the training data. The multilingual DNN acoustic model may include a feedforward neural network having multiple layers of one or more nodes. Each node of a given layer may connect with a respective weight to each node of a subsequent layer, and the multiple layers of one or more nodes may include one or more shared hidden layers of nodes and a language-specific output layer of nodes corresponding to each of the two or more languages. Additionally, weights associated with the multiple layers of one or more nodes of the processed multilingual DNN acoustic model may be stored in a database.
