摘要： A speech coding apparatus and method for use in a speech recognition apparatus and method. The value of at least one feature of an utterance is measured during each of a series of successive time intervals to produce a series of feature vector signals representing the feature values. A plurality of prototype vector signals, each having at least one parameter value and a unique identification value are stored. The closeness of the feature vector signal is compared to the parameter values of the prototype vector signals to obtain prototype match scores for the feature value signal and each prototype vector signal. The identification value of the prototype vector signal having the best prototype match score is output as a coded representation signal of the feature vector signal. Speaker-dependent prototype vector signals are generated from both synthesized training vector signals and measured training vector signals. The synthesized training vector signals are transformed reference feature vector signals representing the values of features of one or more utterances of one or more speakers in a reference set of speakers. The measured training feature vector signals represent the values of features of one or more utterances of a new speaker/user not in the reference set.

摘要： Modeling a word is done by concatenating a series of elemental models to form a word model. At least one elemental model in the series is a composite elemental model formed by combining the starting states of at least first and second primitive elemental models. Each primitive elemental model represents a speech component. The primitive elemental models are combined by a weighted combination of their parameters in proportion to the values of the weighting factors. To tailor the word model to closely represent variations in the pronunciation of the word, the word is uttered a plurality of times by a plurality of different speakers. Constructing word models from composite elemental models, and constructing composite elemental models from primitive elemental models enables word models to represent many variations in the pronunciation of a word. Providing a relatively small set of primitive elemental models for a relatively large vocabulary of words enables models to be trained to the voice of a new speaker by having the new speaker utter only a small subset of the words in the vocabulary.

摘要： Symbol feature values and contextual feature values of each event in a training set of events are measured. At least two pairs of complementary subsets of observed events are selected. In each pair of complementary subsets of observed events, one subset has contextual features with values in a set C.sub.n, and the other set has contextual features with values in a set C.sub.n, were the sets in C.sub.n and C.sub.n are complementary sets of contextual feature values. For each subset of observed events, the similarity values of the symbol features of the observed events in the subsets are calculated. For each pair of complementary sets of observed events, a "goodness of fit" is the sum of the symbol feature value similarity of the subsets. The sets of contextual feature values associated with the subsets of observed events having the best "goodness of fit" are identified and form context-dependent bases for grouping the observed events into two output sets.

摘要： A speech recognition apparatus and method estimates the next word context for each current candidate word in a speech hypothesis. An initial model of each speech hypothesis comprises a model of a partial hypothesis of zero or more words followed by a model of a candidate word. An initial hypothesis score for each speech hypothesis comprises an estimate of the closeness of a match between the initial model of the speech hypothesis and a sequence of coded representations of the utterance. The speech hypotheses having the best initial hypothesis scores form an initial subset. For each speech hypothesis in the initial subset, the word which is most likely to follow the speech hypothesis is estimated. A revised model of each speech hypothesis in the initial subset comprises a model of the partial hypothesis followed by a revised model of the candidate word. The revised candidate word model is dependent at least on the word which is estimated to be most likely to follow the speech hypothesis. A revised hypothesis score for each speech hypothesis in the initial subset comprises an estimate of the closeness of a match between the revised model of the speech hypothesis and the sequence of coded representations of the utterance. The speech hypotheses from the initial subset which have the best revised match scores are stored as a reduced subset. At least one word of one or more of the speech hypotheses in the reduced subset is output as a speech recognition result.

摘要： A speech coding and speech recognition apparatus. The value of at least one feature of an utterance is measured over each of a series of successive time intervals to produce a series of feature vector signals. The closeness of the feature value of each feature vector signal to the parameter value of each of a set of prototype vector signals is determined to obtain prototype match scores for each vector signal and each prototype vector signal. For each feature vector signal, first-rank and second-rank scores are associated with the prototype vector signals having the best and second best prototype match scores, respectively. For each feature vector signal, at least the identification value and the rank score of the first-ranked and second-ranked prototype vector signals are output as a coded utterance representation signal of the feature vector signal, to produce a series of coded utterance representation signals. For each of a plurality of speech units, a probabilistic model has a plurality of model outputs, and output probabilities for each model output. Each model output comprises the identification value of a prototype vector and a rank score. For each speech unit, a match score comprises an estimate of the probability that the probabilistic model of the speech unit would output a series of model outputs matching a reference series comprising the identification value and rank score of at least one prototype vector from each coded utterance representation signal in the series of coded utterance representation signals.

摘要： A speech coding apparatus in which measured acoustic feature vectors are each represented by the best matched prototype vector. The prototype vectors are generated by storing a model of a training script comprising a series of elementary models. The value of at least one feature of a training utterance of the training script is measured over each of a series of successive time intervals to produce a series of training feature vectors. A first set of training feature vectors corresponding to a first elementary model in the training script is identified. The feature value of each training feature vector signal in the first set is compared to the parameter value of a first reference vector signal to obtain a first closeness score, and is compared to the parameter value of a second reference vector to obtain a second closeness score for each training feature vector. For each training feature vector in the first set, the first closeness score is compared with the second closeness score to obtain a reference match score. A first subset contains those training feature vectors in the first set having reference match scores better than a threshold Q, and a second subset contains those having reference match scores less than the threshold Q. One or more partition values are generated for a first prototype vector frown the first subset of training feature vectors, and one or more additional partition values are generated for the first prototype vector from the second subset of training feature vectors.

摘要： A speech coding apparatus and method measures the values of at least first and second different features of an utterance during each of a series of successive time intervals. For each time interval, a feature vector signal has a first component value equal to a first weighted combination of the values of only one feature of the utterance for at least two time intervals. The feature vector signal has a second component value equal to a second weighted combination, different from the first weighted combination, of the values of only one feature of the utterance for at least two time intervals. The resulting feature vector signals for a series of successive time intervals form a coded representation of the utterance. In one embodiment, a first weighted mixture signal has a value equal to a first weighted mixture of the values of the features of the utterance during a single time interval. A second weighted mixture signal has a value equal to a second weighted mixture, different from the first weighted mixture, of the values of the features of the utterance during a single time interval. The first component value of each feature vector signal is equal to a first weighted combination of the values of only the first weighted mixture signals for at least two time intervals, and the second component value of each feature vector signal is equal to a second weighted combination, different from the first weighted combination, of the values of only the second weighted mixture for at least two time intervals.

摘要： A speech coding apparatus and method uses classification rules to code an utterance while consuming fewer computing resources. The value of at least one feature of an utterance is measured during each of a series of successive time intervals to produce a series of feature vector signals representing the feature values. The classification rules comprise at least first and second sets of classification rules. The first set of classification rules map each feature vector signal from a set of all possible feature vector signals to exactly one of at least two disjoint subsets of feature vector signals. The second set of classification rules map each feature vector signal in a subset of feature vector signals to exactly one of at least two different classes of prototype vector signals. Each class contains a plurality of prototype vector signals. According to the classification rules, a first feature vector signal is mapped to a first class of prototype vector signals. The closeness of the feature value of the first feature vector signal is compared to the parameter values of only the prototype vector signals in the first class of prototype vector signals to obtain prototype match scores for the first feature vector signal and each prototype vector signal in the first class. At least the identification value of at least the prototype vector signal having the best prototype match score is output as a coded utterance representation signal of the first feature vector signal.

摘要： A method and apparatus for estimating the probability of phones, a-posteriori, in the context of not only the acoustic feature at that time, but also the acoustic features in the vicinity of the current time, and its use in cutting down the search-space in a speech recognition system. The method constructs and uses a decision tree, with the predictors of the decision tree being the vector-quantized acoustic feature vectors at the current time, and in the vicinity of the current time. The process starts with an enumeration of all (predictor, class) events in the training data at the root node, and successively partitions the data at a node according to the most informative split at that node. An iterative algorithm is used to design the binary partitioning. After the construction of the tree is completed, the probability distribution of the predicted class is stored at all of its terminal leaves. The decision tree is used during the decoding process by tracing a path down to one of its leaves, based on the answers to binary questions about the vector-quantized acoustic feature vector at the current time and its vicinity.
