1. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions, comprising:

  • receiving a plurality of current alternates corresponding to a set of input data of a plurality of sets of input data, each of the current alternates having information associated therewith corresponding to a probability;

    determining a cost from each of the current alternates to previous alternates of a set of previous alternates of a previous set of input data of the plurality of sets of input data, the cost based on probability information of each previous alternate, probability information of each current alternate and a transition cost therebetween;

    determining a lowest cost from each of the current alternates to one of the previous alternates; and

    if the lowest cost of each of the current alternates converges to a common previous alternate, recognizing the common previous alternate as output data for the previous set of input data to provide a partial recognition result relative to the plurality of sets of input data.
