Popis: In this paper, we present our improvements in online topic-based language model adaptation. Our aim is to enhance the automatic speech recognition of a multi-topic speech which is to be recognized in the real-time (online). Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is an unsupervised topic model designed to uncover hidden semantic relationships between words and documents in a text corpus and thus reveal latent topics automatically. We use LDA to cluster the text corpus and to predict topics online from partial hypotheses during the real-time speech recognition. Based on detected topic changes in the speech, we adapt the language model on-the-fly. We are demonstrating the improvement of our system on the task of online subtitling of TV news, where we achieved \(18\%\) relative reduction of perplexity and \(3.52\%\) relative reduction of WER over non-adapted system.
