Abstract: The performance of low-resource speech recognition system is improved by the multilingual information.However,when the multilingual information is used to improve the performance of low-resource automatic speech re-cognition system,notall of the multilingual speech data could be utilized to improve the performance of low-resource automatic speech recognition system.In this paper,a data selection method which is based on long short-term memory recurrent neural network based language identification was proposed and used to improve the performance of low-resource automatic speech recognition system.More efficient multilingual speech data are selected and used to train multilingual deep neural network and deep Bottleneck neural network.The deep neural network model obtained by using transfer learning and the Bottleneck features extracted by using the deep bottleneck neural network are both helpful to improve the performance of low-resource target language speech recognition system.Comparing with the baseline system,there are 10.5% and 11.4% absolute word error rate reductions under the condition of interpolated web based language mo-del for decoding.

Key words: Data selection, Deep Bottleneck neural network, Low-resource, Multilingual deep neural network
