Abstract

A voice recognition device ( 10 ) according to an embodiment includes a voice recognition unit ( 131 ) and a score calculation unit ( 132 ). The voice recognition unit ( 131 ) generates a lattice based on a result of voice recognition of speech. The score calculation unit ( 132 ) updates a score of the lattice based on an output of an NLM corresponding to each type of processing and a coefficient which is based on the number of repetitions or performance of the NLM during execution of each type of processing in each type of processing repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times (repeated lattice rescoring).

Claims (21)

1 . A voice recognition method executed by a computer, the method comprising:

a generation procedure of generating a lattice based on a result of voice recognition of speech; and

a score calculation procedure of updating a score of the lattice based on an output of a Neural Language Model (NLM) corresponding to each type of processing and a coefficient which is based on the number of repetitions or performance of the NLM during execution of each type of processing in each type of processing repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times.

2 . The voice recognition method according to claim 1 , wherein, in the score calculation procedure, a value that decreases as the number of repetitions increases is set as the coefficient.

3 . The voice recognition method according to claim 1 , wherein, in the score calculation procedure, a value of an NLM corresponding to each type of processing is set as the coefficient, the value increasing as word prediction accuracy for text data with the same nature as the speech is higher.

4 . A voice recognition device comprising:

a voice recognition unit configured to generate a lattice based on a result of voice recognition of speech; and

a score calculation unit configured to update a score of the lattice based on an output of a Neural Language Model (NLM) corresponding to each type of processing and a coefficient which is based on the number of repetitions or performance of the NLM during execution of each type of processing in each type of processing repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times.

5 . (canceled)

6 . The voice recognition device according to claim 4 , wherein, in the score calculation procedure, a value that decreases as the number of repetitions increases is set as the coefficient.

7 . The voice recognition device according to claim 4 , wherein, in the score calculation procedure, a value of an NLM corresponding to each type of processing is set as the coefficient, the value increasing as word prediction accuracy for text data with the same nature as the speech is higher.

8 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer to execute a voice recognition method comprising:

a generation procedure of generating a lattice based on a result of voice recognition of speech; and

a score calculation procedure of updating a score of the lattice based on an output of a Neural Language Model (NLM) corresponding to each type of processing and a coefficient which is based on the number of repetitions or performance of the NLM during execution of each type of processing in each type of processing repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times.

9 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 8 wherein the voice recognition method further comprises:

a value that decreases as the number of repetitions increases is set as the coefficient.

10 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 8 wherein the voice recognition method further comprises:

a value of an NLM corresponding to each type of processing is set as the coefficient, the value increasing as word prediction accuracy for text data with the same nature as the speech is higher.

11 . The voice recognition method according to claim 1 , wherein a weighting is carried out using the coefficient based on the number of repetitions or the performance of the NLM.

12 . The voice recognition device according to claim 4 , wherein a weighting is carried out using the coefficient based on the number of repetitions or the performance of the NLM.

13 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 8 , wherein a weighting is carried out using the coefficient based on the number of repetitions or the performance of the NLM.
