Abstract

See full text

For speech recognition a new word is represented as based on a stored inventory of models of sub-word units. First a plurality of utterances are presented that all should conform to the word. For building a word model from the utterances, these are represented by a sequence of feature vectors. First, the utterances are used to train a whole-word model that is independent of the models of the sub-word units. The length of the whole-word model equals the average length of the utterances. Next, a sequence of Markov states and associated probability densities of acoustic events of the whole-word model is interpreted as a reference template represented by a string of averaged feature vectors. Finally, the string is recognized by matching to models in the inventory and storing a recognition result as a model of the utterances.
