Abstract

Because the ASR systems are not flawless it is desirable to detect the occurred recognition errors already on the phone-level. To cope with this problem, we present a confidence measure (CM) based on our recent experiments. The elementary unit for which the presented CM is investigated is a phone. The first part of this paper shortly introduces the used speech recognition system. The main part of this paper deals with description of our previous experiments and the creation of the new CM based on utilization of synthetically created training data. The performance results of the new CM are also presented in the last part of this paper. A rejection technique based on the described CM was evaluated on the Czech yellow-pages database. Experimental results show that the proposed rejection technique achieves approximately 6% equal error rate (ERR) for phone rejection and about 7-18% EER for word rejection.
