Abstract

We explore the problem of out of vocabulary (OOV) queries in audio indexing systems by comparing three indexing methods on a broadcast news repository containing 75 hours of audio. Our systems are word-based, phoneme-based and a novel system based on syllable-like units called particles. To better examine the performance of these three approaches we use a query set where the percentage of OOVs has been artificially increased to 50%. We additionally investigate whether the combination of the three indexing techniques can yield improvements in retrieval. We explore several simple combination strategies such as weighted combinations. We find that combining word and sub-word based systems results in improved retrieval performance.
