Abstract: A recognition confidence measurement method, medium and system which can more accurately determine whether an input speech signal is an in-vocabulary, by extracting an optimum number of candidates that match a phone string extracted from the input speech signal and estimating a lexical distance between the extracted candidates is provided. A recognition confidence measurement method includes: extracting a phoneme string from a feature vector of an input speech signal; extracting candidates by matching the extracted phoneme string and phoneme strings of vocabularies registered in a predetermined dictionary and; estimating a lexical distance between the extracted candidates; and determining whether the input speech signal is an in-vocabulary, based on the lexical distance.

An apparatus includes a forward search module performing a forward search in order to create a word lattice similar to a feature vector, which is extracted from an input voice signal, with reference to a global language model database, a pronunciation dictionary database and an acoustic model database, which have been previously established, a topic-domain-detection module detecting a topic domain by inferring a topic based on meanings of vocabularies contained in the word lattice using information of the word lattice created as a result of the forward search, and a backward-decoding module performing a backward decoding of the detected topic domain with reference to a specific topic domain language model database, which has been previously established, thereby outputting a speech recognition result for an input voice signal in text form. Accuracy and efficiency for a dialogue sentence are improved.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus to recognize speech by measuring the confidence levels of respective frames. The method includes the operations of obtaining frequency features of a received speech signal for the respective frames having a predetermined length, calculating a keyword model-based likelihood and a filler model-based likelihood for each of the frame, calculating a confidence score based on the two types of likelihoods, and deciding whether the received speech signal corresponds to a keyword or a non-keyword based on the confidence scores. Also, the method includes the operation of transforming the confidence scores by applying transform functions of clusters, which include the confidence scores or are close to the confidence scores, to the confidence scores.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for selecting a vocabulary closest to an input speech from among lexicons stored in memory, wherein a centroid lexicon representing lexicons belonging to a predetermined lexicon group is generated. Two lexicons, having a longest distance therebetween in the lexicon group, are selected using the centroid lexicon from the lexicon group, and a node indicating the lexicon group branches based on the two selected lexicons. A node having low group similarity is selected from among current terminal nodes, including branch nodes, and the above procedure is repeatedly performed on a lexicon group indicated by the selected node.
