  • QUOTE: We present benchmark results of automatic speech recognition using the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese (CSJ), which has been developed in the five-year national project and will be the largest spontaneous speech databases. New test-sets are designed for both academic presentation speech and extemporaneous public speech, which are the two major categories in the corpus. The test-sets are selected to cover the variation of acoustic and linguistic factors in spontaneous speech: word perplexity, degree of disfluency, and the speaking rate. Baseline acoustic and language models are set up using an almost complete set (500 hours and 6.67M words) of the CSJ.
