Abstract

Utterance verification aims at rejecting both out-of-vocabulary (OOV) utterances and low-confidence-scored in-vocabulary (IV) utterances. For utterance verification on Korean connected digit recognition task, we investigate several methods to construct filler and anti-digit models. In particular, we propose a substitution error correction method based on 2-best decoding results. In this method, when 1st candidate is rejected, 2nd candidate is selected if it is accepted by a specific hypothesis test, instead of simply rejecting the 1st one. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional log likelihood ratio (LLR) test method.
