CNN-based Spoken Term Detection and Localization without Dynamic Programming
In this paper, we propose a spoken term detection algorithm for simultaneous prediction and localization of in-vocabulary and out-of-vocabulary terms within an audio segment. The proposed algorithm infers whether a term was uttered within a given speech signal or not by predicting the word embeddings of various parts of the speech signal and comparing them to the word embedding of the desired term. The algorithm utilizes an existing embedding space for this task and does not need to train a task-specific embedding space. At inference the algorithm simultaneously predicts all possible locations of the target term and does not need dynamic programming for optimal search. We evaluate our system on several spoken term detection tasks on read speech corpora.

H-QuEST: Accelerating Query-by-Example Spoken Term Detection with Hierarchical Indexing
Query-by-example spoken term detection (QbE-STD) searches for matching words or phrases in an audio dataset using a sample spoken query. When annotated data is limited or unavailable, QbE-STD is often done using template…

Spoken Term Detection (STD) is the task of searching for words or phrases within audio, given either text or spoken input as a query. In this work, we use state-of-the-art Hindi, Tamil and Telugu ASR systems cross-lingua…
Query-by-example Spoken Term Detection using Attention-based Multi-hop Networks
Retrieving spoken content with spoken queries, or query-by- example spoken term detection (STD), is attractive because it makes possible the matching of signals directly on the acoustic level without transcribing them in…
Designing an Evaluation Framework for Spoken Term Detection and Spoken Document Retrieval at the NTCIR-9 SpokenDoc Task
We describe the evaluation framework for spoken document retrieval for the IR for the Spoken Documents Task, conducted in the ninth NTCIR Workshop. The two parts of this task were a spoken term detection (STD) subtask an…
