Abstract

Providing a framework for merging automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems having a shared deep neural network (DNN) feature transformation is provided. A received utterance may be evaluated to generate a DNN-derived feature from the top hidden layer of a DNN. The top hidden layer output may then be utilized to generate a network including a bottleneck layer and an output layer. Weights representing a feature dimension reduction may then be extracted between the top hidden layer and the bottleneck layer. Scores may then be generated and combined to merge the ASR systems which share the DNN feature transformation.
