Original Abstract

The paper presents a new approach to extracting useful informationfrom out-of-vocabulary (OOV) speech regions inASR system output. The system makes use of a hybrid decodingnetwork with both words and sub-word units. In thedecoded lattices, candidates for OOV regions are identifiedas sub-graphs of sub-word units. To facilitate OOV word recovery,we search for recurring OOVs by clustering the detectedcandidate OOVs. The metrics for clustering is basedon a comparison of the sub-graphs corresponding to the OOVcandidates. The proposed method discovers repeating outof-vocabulary words and finds their graphemic representationmore robustly than more conventional techniques taking intoaccount only one best sub-word string hypotheses.
