ABSTRACT:
A recognizing target vocabulary comparing unit calculates a compared likelihood of a recognizing target vocabulary, i.e., a compared likelihood of a registered vocabulary, by using the time series of the amount of characteristics of an input speech. An environment adaptive noise model comparing unit calculates a compared likelihood of a noise model adaptive to a noise environment, i.e., a compared likelihood of environmental noise. A rejection determining unit compares the likelihood of the registered vocabulary with the likelihood of the environmental noise, and determines whether or not the input speech is the noise. When it is determined that the input speech is the noise, a noise model adapting unit adaptively updates an environment adaptive noise model by using the input speech. Thus, the environment adaptive noise model matches to a real environment and the rejection determination can be performed for a noise input with high accuracy.
