Acoustic model training device, acoustic model training method, voice recognition device, and voice recognition method
An acoustic model training device includes: a processor to execute a program; and a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of: generating, based on feature vectors obtained by analyzing utterance data items of a plurality of speakers, a training data item of each speaker by subtracting, for each speaker, a mean vector of all the feature vectors of the speaker from each of the feature vectors of the speaker; generating a training data item of all the speakers by subtracting a mean vector of all the feature vectors of all the speakers from each of the feature vectors of all the speakers; and training an acoustic model using the training data item of each speaker and the training data item of all the speakers.

2. A voice recognition device comprising:
a processor to execute a program; and
a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of:
analyzing an input voice and outputting first feature vectors;
determining whether the voice is a first utterance, setting, based on second feature vectors obtained by analyzing utterance data items of a plurality of speakers, a mean vector of all the second feature vectors of all the speakers as a correction vector if the voice is the first utterance, setting a mean vector of the first feature vectors until a preceding utterance as the correction vector if the voice is not the first utterance, and outputting corrected vectors obtained by subtracting the correction vector from the first feature vectors; and
comparing the corrected vectors with an acoustic model trained using a training data item of each speaker generated by subtracting, for each speaker, a mean vector of all the second feature vectors of the speaker from the second feature vectors of the speaker, and a training data item of all the speakers generated by subtracting a mean vector of all the second feature vectors of all the speakers from the second feature vectors of all the speakers, and outputting a recognition result of the voice.
3. The voice recognition device of claim 2 , wherein the program performs storing the correction vector, and if the voice is not the first utterance, weights and averages a mean vector of the first feature vectors until the preceding utterance that are temporarily stored and the correction vector used one utterance before, and setting the weighted average as the correction vector.
