Investigation of Improved Approaches to Bayes Risk Decoding

Bayes risk (BR) decoding methods have been widely investigated in the speech recognition area due to its flexibility and complexity compared with the maximum a posteriori (MAP) method regarding to minimum word error (MWE) optimization.This paper investigates two improved approaches to the BR decoding,aiming at minimizing word error.The novelty of the proposed methods is shown in the explicit optimization of the objective function,the value of which is calculated by an improved forward algorithm on the lattice.However,the result of the first method is obtained by an expectation maximization (EM) like iteration,while the result of the second one is achieved by traversing the confusion network (CN),both of which lead to an optimized objective function value with distinct approaches.Experimental results indicate that the proposed methods result in an error reduction for lattice rescoring,compared with the traditional CN method for lattice rescoring.
