Information processing device, large vocabulary continuous speech recognition method and program including hypothesis ranking
System and method for performing speech recognition using acoustic invariant structure for large vocabulary continuous speech. An information processing device receives sound as input and performs speech recognition. The information processing device includes: a speech recognition processing unit for outputting a speech recognition score, a structure score calculation unit for calculation of a structure score that is a score that, with respect for each hypothesis concerning all phoneme pairs comprising the hypothesis, is found by applying phoneme pair-by-pair weighting to phoneme pair inter-distribution distance likelihood and then performing summation, and a ranking unit for ranking the multiple hypotheses based on a sum value of speech recognition score and structure score.
