Abstract
Bootstrapping of a system from one language to another often works well when the two languages share the similar acoustic space. However, when the new language has sounds that do not occur in the language from which the bootstrapping is to be done, bootstrapping does not produce good initial models and the new language data is not properly aligned to these models. The present invention provides techniques to generate context dependent labeling of the new language data using the recognition system of another language. Then, this labeled data is used to generate models for the new language phones.
