Abstract

Speech recognition such as command and control speech recognition generally use a context free grammar to constrain the decoding process. Word or subword background model are constructed to repopulate dynamic hypothesis space, especially when word spareness is at issue. The background models can be later used in speech recognition. During speech recognition, background and conventional context free grammar decoding are used to measure confidence. The discussion above is merely provided for general background information and is not intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
