Abstract
If, in a speech understanding system, word matching is performed at the phonetic level, then the accurate determination of the locations and identities of words present in an unknown utterance is necessarily limited by the phonetic segmentation and labeling. Verification offers an alternative strategy by doing a top-down parametric word match independent of segmentation and labeling. The result is a distance measure between the reference parameterization of a hypothesized word and the computed parameterization of the real speech. This distance is interpreted as the likelihood of that word having actually occurred over a given portion of the utterance.Keywords
