Methods and systems for assessing and improving the performance of a speech recognition system
First Claim
1. A method for model adaptation for a speech recognition system comprising:
- using at least one processor, determining a performance assessment of the system, corresponding to either recognition of instances of a word or recognition of instances of various words among a set of words, the performance assessment of the system based on a plurality of recognition observations by the system; and
adjusting an adaptation of a model for the word or various models for the various words, by making a comparison of the determined performance assessment of the system to a performance assessment threshold and making a determination of whether to adapt the model or various models or whether to withhold adapting the model or various models, based on the comparison.

Abstract
A method for assessing a performance of a speech recognition system may include determining a grade, corresponding to either recognition of instances of a word or recognition of instances of various words among a set of words, wherein the grade indicates a level of the performance of the system and the grade is based on a recognition rate and at least one recognition factor. An apparatus for assessing a performance of a speech recognition system may include a processor that determines a grade, corresponding to either recognition of instances of a word or recognition of instances of various words among a set of words, wherein the grade indicates a level of the performance of the system and wherein the grade is based on a recognition rate and at least one recognition factor.

11. An apparatus for model adaptation for a speech recognition system comprising:
-
a processor configured for determining a performance assessment of the system, corresponding to either recognition of instances of a word or recognition of instances of various words among a set of words, the performance assessment of the system based on a plurality of recognition observations by the system; and a controller configured for adjusting an adaptation, of a model for the word or various models for the various words, by making a comparison of the determined performance assessment of the system to a performance assessment threshold and making a determination of whether to adapt the model or various models or whether to withhold adapting the model or various models, based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
