Abstract

This paper describes a speech parsing method called HMM-LR. In HMM-LR, an LR parsing table is used to predict phones in speech input, and the system drives an HMM-based speech recognizer directly without any intervening structures such as a phone lattice. Very accurate, efficient speech parsing is achieved through the integrated processes of speech recognition and language analysis. The HMM-LR method is applied to large-vocabulary speaker-dependent Japanese phrase recognition. The recognition rate is 87.1% for the top candidates and 97.7% for the five best candidates.
