This paper describes the Interactive Systems Lab’s Meeting transcription system, which performs segmentation, speaker clustering as well as transcriptions of conversational meeting speech. The system described here was evaluated in NIST’s RT-04S “Meeting” speech evaluation. This paper compares the performance of our Broadcast News and the most recent Switchboard system on the Meeting data and compares both with a newly-trained meeting recognizer. Furthermore we investigate the effects of automatic segmentation on adaptation. Our best meeting system achieves 44.5% on the MDM condition in NIST’s RT-04S evaluation.
