Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Techniques for conversion of non-back-off language models for use in speech decoders. For example, an apparatus for conversion of non-back-off language models for use in speech decoders. For example, an apparatus is configured convert a non-back-off language model to a back-off language model. The converted back-off language model is pruned. The converted back-off language model is usable for decoding speech.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, forming at least one speech decoder, and configured to: convert a non-back-off language model to a back-off language model using a background language model, wherein the non-back-off language model assigns a probability to any fixed order n-gram without backing off to lower order n-gram probabilities, and wherein the background language model assigns a non-zero probability to n-gra…
