Patent number: 8972264Abstract: A method and apparatus for utterance verification are provided for verifying a recognized vocabulary output from speech recognition. The apparatus for utterance verification includes a reference score accumulator, a verification score generator and a decision device. A log-likelihood score obtained from speech recognition is processed by taking a logarithm of the value of the probability of one of feature vectors of an input speech conditioned on one of states of each model vocabulary. A verification score is generated based on the processed result. The verification score is compared with a predetermined threshold value so as to reject or accept the recognized vocabulary.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventor: Shih-Chieh Chien
