Feature-Based Learning Hidden Unit Contributions for Domain Adaptation of RNN-LMs

DOI

説明

In recent years, many approaches have been proposed for domain adaptation of neural network language models. These methods can be separated into two categories. The first is model-based adaptation, which creates a domain specific language model by re-training the weights in the network on the in-domain data. This requires domain annotation in the training and test data. The second is feature-based adaptation, which uses topic features to perform mainly bias adaptation of network input or output layers in an unsupervised manner. Recently, a scheme called learning hidden unit contributions was proposed for acoustic model adaptation. We propose applying this scheme to feature-based domain adaptation of recurrent neural network language model. In addition, we also investigate the combination of this approach with bias-based domain adaptation. For the experiments, we use a corpus based on TED talks and the CSJ lecture corpus to show perplexity and speech recognition results. Our proposed method consistently outperforms a pure non-adapted baseline and the combined approach can improve on pure bias adaptation.
