Abstract

See full text

A method and an apparatus for a speech recognition system that uses a language model based on an integrated finite state grammar probability and an n-gram probability are provided. According to one aspect of the invention, speech signals are received into a processor of a speech recognition system. The speech signals are processed using a speech recognition system hosting a language model. The language model is produced by integrating a finite state grammar probability and an n-gram probability. In the integration, the n-gram probability is modified based on information provided by the finite state grammar probability; thus, the finite state grammar probability is subordinate to the n-gram probability. The language model is used by a decoder along with at least one acoustic model to perform a hypothesis search on an acoustic sequence to provide a word sequence output. The word sequence generated is representative of the received speech signals.
