METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPTIMIZING MODEL ADAPTATION FOR A SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for efficient use of resources of a speech recognition system, comprising:
- determining a recognition rate, corresponding to either recognition of instances of a word or recognition of instances of various words among a set of words;
determining an accuracy range of the recognition rate, corresponding to a desired confidence level; and
using a recognition rate threshold and the desired confidence level upon which to base model adaptation, wherein a model for the word is adapted or various models for the various words are adapted, based upon a comparison of at least one value in the accuracy range with the recognition rate threshold.

Abstract
A method for efficient use of resources of a speech recognition system includes determining a recognition rate, corresponding to either recognition of instances of a word or recognition of instances of various words among a set of words, and determining an accuracy range of the recognition rate. The method may further include adjusting adaptation of a model for the word or various models for the various words, based on a comparison of at least one value in the accuracy range with a recognition rate threshold. An apparatus for efficient use of resources of a speech recognition system includes a processor adapted to determine a recognition rate corresponding to either recognition of instances of a one word or recognition of instances of various words among a set of words, and an accuracy range of the recognition rate. The apparatus may further include a controller adapted to adjust adaptation of a model for the word or various models for the various words, based on a comparison of at least one value in the accuracy range with a recognition rate threshold.
