Original Abstract

Combination of different speech recognition systems can be powerful technique to improve recognition performance. The success of these techniques, however, depends on the complementarity of the combined systems. In this paper, a measure of complementarity of different recognition systems is proposed. This measure is based on analysis of similarity of errors made by individual systems. High correlation between the measure and actual performances of combined systems is shown in experiments, which indicates that the measure can be used to select systems suitable for combination. The measure can be computed very efficiently and it can be used even in situations where exhaustive search looking for the set of system optimal for combination would be infeasible.
