ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are provided for adjusting the parameters of ones of a plurality of recognition models. The recognition models collectively represent a vocabulary. The recognition models are utilized to identify a known word represented within a received input signal. The received input signal may include within vocabulary and out of vocabulary words. An output signal representing a confidence measure corresponding to the relative accuracy of the identity of the known word is generated. Particular ones of the plurality of recognition models are adjusted as a function of the output signal to improve the confidence measure. The systems, methods and articles of manufacture are preferably implemented in accordance with discriminative techniques, and the adjustment process is used during either a preferred training or a recognition mode.
