Abstract

See full text

The speech recognizer incorporates a language model that reduces the number of acoustic pattern matching sequences that must be performed by the recognizer. The language model is based on knowledge of a pre-defined set of syntactically defined content and includes a data structure that organizes the content according to acoustic confusability. A spelled name recognition system based on the recognizer employs a language model based on classes of letters that the recognizer frequently confuses for one another. The language model data structure is optionally an N-gram data structure, a tree data structure, or an incrementally configured network that is built during a training sequence. The incrementally configured network has nodes that are selected based on acoustic distance from a predetermined lexicon.
