Abstract

In this paper. we propose a method of confidence measure fusion under Bayesian framework for speech recognition. Centralized and distributed schemes are considered for confidence measure fusion. Centralized fusion is feature level fusion which combines the values of individual confidence scores and makes a final decision. In contrast. distributed fusion is decision level fusion which combines the individual decision makings made by each individual confidence measuring method. Optimal Bayesian fusion rules for centralized and distributed cases are presented. In isolated word Out-of-Vocabulary (OOV) rejection experiments. centralized Bayesian fusion shows over 13% relative equal error rate (EER) reduction compared with the individual confidence measure methods. In contrast. the distributed Bayesian fusion shows no significant performance increase.

본 논문에서는 베이시안에 기반한 신뢰도 융합 기법을 제안한다. 음성인식에서 신뢰도는 인식 결과에 대한 신뢰의 정도를 말하며, 인식 결과가 맞는 지의 여부를 판단할 수 있다. 개별 신뢰도 기법의 신뢰도 값을 융합하여 최종 판단을 내리는 집중형 융합 방식과 개별 신뢰도 기법의 판단 결과들을 융합하는 분산형 융합의 두 가지 방식에 대해 최적의 베이시안 융합규칙이 제시되었다. 고립단어 인식에서의 미등록어 거절 실험 결과 집중형 베이시안 신뢰도 융합 기법은 개별 신뢰도 기법에 비해 13% 이상의 상대적인 에러 감소 효과를 보였으나, 분산형 베이시안 융합은 성능의 향상을 보이지 못했다.
