ABSTRACT:
In order to recognize input speech by analyzing the input speech at a predetermined time interval, extracting feature vectors and calculating likelihood value of a reference pattern model of each category to be recognized. A first probability calculation means calculates a probability that a first hidden Markov model having internal state number as output symbol for each of categories to be recognized outputs an internal state number. A second probability calculation means calculates a probability that a second hidden Markov model having transition probabilities of internal state number and feature vector output probability distribution for each of the respective internal state numbers outputs a feature vector. A likelihood value calculation means calculates likelihood value of a reference pattern model of the category to be recognized by using outputs of the first and second probability calculation means.
