Abstract

The authors propose a continuous-speech recognition method that uses an accurate and efficient parsing mechanism, an LR parser, and drives HMM (hidden Markov model) modules directly without any intervening structures such as a phoneme lattice. The method was tested in Japanese phrase recognition experiments. Two grammars were prepared, a general Japanese grammar and a task-specific grammar. The phrase recognition rate with the general grammar was 72% for top candidates and 95% for the five best candidates. With the task-specific grammar, recognition rate was 80% and 99%, respectively.
