Abstract
The present invention provides a method of calculating, within the framework of a speaker dependent system, a standard filler, or garbage model, for the detection of out-of-vocabulary utterances. In particular, the method receives new training data in a speech recognition system (202); calculates statistical parameters for the new training data (204); calculates global statistical parameters based upon the statistical parameters for the new training data (206); and updates a garbage model based upon the global statistical parameters (208). This is carried out on-line while the user is enrolling the vocabulary. The garbage model described in this disclosure is preferably an average speaker model, representative of all the speech data enrolled by the user to date. Also, the garbage model is preferably obtained as a by-product of the vocabulary enrollment procedure and is similar in it characteristics and topology to all the other regular vocabulary HMMs.
