More specifically, we propose a new theoretical framework to combine phoneme class posterior probabilities in a principled way by using (statistical) evidence about the language identity. We investigate the proposed approach in a mixed language environment (SpeechDat(II)) consisting of five European languages. Our studies show that the proposed approach can yield significant improvements on a mixed language task, while maintaining the performance on monolingual tasks. Additionally, through a case study, we also demonstrate the potential benefits of the proposed approach for non-native speech recognition.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2010/Imseng_Idiap-RR-13-2011.pdf} }
