In this paper, we propose to exploit CMs derived from frame-based word and phone posteriors to detect speech segments containing pronunciations from non-target (alien) languages. The LVCSR system used is built for English, which is the target language, with medium-size recognition vocabulary (5k words). The efficiency of detection is tested on a set comprising speech from three different languages (English, German, Czech). Results achieved indicate that employment of specific temporal context (integrated in the word or phone level) significantly increases the detection accuracies. Furthermore, we show that combination of several CMs can also improve the efficiency of detection.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/papers/2009/Motlicek_INTERSPEECH2009-2_2009.pdf} }
