Abstract: In this paper we define two alternatives to the familiar perplexity statistic (hereafter lexical perplexity), which is widely applied both as a measure-of-goodness and as an objective function for training languagemodels. These alternatives, respectively acoustic perplexity and the synthetic acoustic word error rate, fuse information from both the language model and the acoustic model. We show how to compute these statistics by effectively synthesizing a large acoustic corpus, demonstrate... (Update)

...increasingly investigated lately, with a special focus on how to estimate a Word Error Rate on test data without having to decode them. We are currently investigating the use of the the Synthetic Acoustic Word Error Rate (SAWER) introduced in [10], which fuses information from...
