    Abstract: Techniques are provided for reducing the latency of automatic speech recognition using hypothesis score trend analysis. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes generating complete-phrase hypotheses and partial-phrase hypotheses, along with associated likelihood scores, based on a segment of speech. The method also includes selecting the complete-phrase hypothesis associated with the highest of the complete-phrase hypotheses likelihood scores, and selecting the partial-phrase hypothesis associated with the highest of the partial-phrase hypotheses likelihood scores. The method further includes calculating a relative likelihood score based on a ratio of the likelihood score associated with the selected complete-phrase hypothesis to the likelihood score associated with the selected partial-phrase hypothesis. The method further includes calculating a trend of the relative likelihood score as a function of time and identifying an endpoint of the speech based on a determination that the trend does not decrease over a selected time period.

    Abstract: Technologies for improved keyword spotting are disclosed. A compute device may capture speech data from a user of the compute device, and perform automatic speech recognition on the captured speech data. The automatic speech recognition algorithm is configured to both spot keywords as well as provide a full transcription of the captured speech data. The automatic speech recognition algorithm may preferentially match the keywords compared to similar words. The recognized keywords may be used to improve parsing of the transcribed speech data or to improve an assistive agent in holding a dialog with a user of the compute device.
