Abstract
A voice recognition device includes: a first feature vector calculating unit (2) for calculating a first feature vector from voice data input; an acoustic likelihood calculating unit (4) for calculating an acoustic likelihood of the first feature vector by using an acoustic model used for calculating an acoustic likelihood of a feature vector; a second feature vector calculating unit (3) for calculating a second feature vector from the voice data; a noise degree calculating unit (6) for calculating a noise degree of the second feature vector by using a discriminant model used for calculating a noise degree indicating whether a feature vector is noise or voice; a noise likelihood recalculating unit (8) for recalculating an acoustic likelihood of noise on the basis of the acoustic likelihood of the first feature vector and the noise degree of the second feature vector; and a collation unit (9) for performing collation with a pattern of a vocabulary word to be recognized, by using the acoustic likelihood calculated and the acoustic likelihood of noise recalculated, and outputting a recognition result of the voice data.
