In this paper, we propose a use of confidence vector as an intermediate input feature for multi-stage based speech recognition architecture to improve recognition accuracy. A multi-stage speech recognition structure is introduced as a method to reduce the computational complexity of the decoding procedure and then accomplish faster speech recognition. Conventional multi-stage speech recognition is usually composed of three stages, acoustic search, lexical search, and acoustic re-scoring. In this paper, we focus on improving the accuracy of the lexical decoding by introducing a confidence vector as an input feature instead of phoneme which was used typically. We take experimental results on 220K Korean Point-of-Interest (POI) domain and the experimental results show that the proposed method contributes on improving accuracy.

This paper is a study on the recognition of continuous speech and uses a method of speech recognition using syntactic analysis and one-stage DMS/DP. In order to perform the speech recognition, first of all, we make DMS model by section division algorithm and let continuous speech data be recognized through One-stage DMS/DP method using syntactic analysis. Besides the speech recognition experiments of proposed method, we experiment the conventional one-stage DP method under the equivalent environment of data and conditions. From the recognition experiments, it is shown that Ole-stage DMS/DP using syntactic analysis is superior to conventional method.

We propose a multi-stage recognizer architecture that reduces the computation load and makes fast recognizer. To improve performance of baseline multi-stage recognizer, we introduced new feature. We used confidence vector for each phone segment instead of best phoneme sequence. The multi-stage recognizer with new feature has better performance on n-best and has more robustness.

In this paper, we studied design and implementation of a robust speech recognition system in noisy car environment. The reference pattern used in the system is DMS(Dynamic Multi-Section). Two separate acoustic models, which are selected automatically depending on the noisy car environment for the speech in a car moving at below 80km/h and over 80km/h are proposed. PLP(Perceptual Linear Predictive) of order 13 is used for the feature vector and OSDP (One-Stage Dynamic Programming) is used for decoding. The system also has the function of editing the phone-book for voice dialing. The system yields a recognition rate of 89.75% for male speakers in SI (speaker independent) mode in a car running on a cemented express way at over 80km/h with a vocabulary of 33 words. The system also yields a recognition rate of 92.29% for male speakers in SI mode in a car running on a paved express way at over 80km/h.

Is this paper, we studied on the automatic speech control system in real-time windows environment using voice recognition. The applied reference pattern is the variable DMS model which is proposed to fasten execution speed and the one-stage DP algorithm using this model is used for recognition algorithm. The recognition vocabulary set is composed of control command words which are frequently used in windows environment. In this paper, an automatic speech period detection algorithm which is for on-line voice processing in windows environment is implemented. The variable DMS model which applies variable number of section in consideration of duration of the input signal is proposed. Sometimes, unnecessary recognition target word are generated. therefore model is reconstructed in on-line to handle this efficiently. The Perceptual Linear Predictive analysis method which generate feature vector from extracted feature of voice is applied. According to the experiment result, but recognition speech is fastened in the proposed model because of small loud of calculation. The multi-speaker-independent recognition rate and the multi-speaker-dependent recognition rate is 99.08% and 99.39% respectively. In the noisy environment the recognition rate is 96.25%.

This paper is a study on the recognition of continuous digits for the implementation of a voice dialing system, and proposes an method of speech recognition using syntactic analysis and One-Stage DP. In order to perform the speech recognition, first of all, we make DMS model by section division algorithm and let continuous digits data be recognized through the proposed One-Stage DP method using syntactic analysis. In this study, 7 continuous digits of 21 kinds which is pronounced by 8 male speakers two or three times, are used. The speaker dependent and speaker independent recognition are performed with the above data by way of the conventional One-Stage DP and the proposed One-Stage DP using syntactic analysis under the condition of laboratory environment. From the recognition experiments, it is shown that the proposed method was better than the established method. And, the recognition accuracy of speaker dependence and independence by the proposed One-Stage DP using syntactic analysis was about 91.7% and 89.7%.
