Abstract

See full text

In a word clustering apparatus for clustering words, a plurality of words is clustered to obtain a total tree diagram of a word dictionary representing a word clustering result, where the total tree diagram includes tree diagrams of an upper layer, a middle layer and a lower layer. In a speech recognition apparatus, a microphone converts an input utterance speech composed of a plurality of words into a speech signal, and a feature extractor extracts predetermined acoustic feature parameters from the converted speech signal. Then, a speech recognition controller executes a speech recognition process on the extracted acoustic feature parameters with reference to a predetermined Hidden Markov Model and the obtained total tree diagram of the word dictionary, and outputs a result of the speech recognition.
