ABSTRACT:
In some embodiments, the invention includes calculating estimated weights for identified errors in recognition of utterances. Sections of the utterances are marked as being misrecognized and the corresponding estimated weights are associated with these sections of the utterances. The weighted sections of the utterances are used to convert a speaker independent model to a speaker dependent model.
