A template matching approach is considered in this paper where posterior features are obtained from a MLP trained on an auxiliary database. Thus, the speech variability present in the features is reduced by applying the speech knowledge captured on the auxiliary database. When compared to state-of-the-art systems, this approach outperforms acoustic-based techniques and obtains comparable results to grapheme-based approaches. Moreover, the proposed method can be directly combined with other posterior-based HMM systems. This combination successfully exploits the complementarity between templates and parametric models.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2008/aradilla-idiap-rr-08-15.pdf}, postscript = {ftp://ftp.idiap.ch/pub/reports/2008/aradilla-idiap-rr-08-15.ps.gz}, ipdmembership={speech}, }
