METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MITIGATING THE EFFECT OF TRANSMISSION ERRORS IN A DISTRIBUTED SPEECH RECOGNITION PROCESS AND SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for distributed speech recognition serve to mitigatethe effect of transmission errors. The method comprises the steps ofidentifying speech recognition parameters which have been subjected to atransmission error, and processing data to be sent to the speech recognitiondecoder to ensure that any speech recognition parameters which have beensubjected to such an error are excluded from back-end processing. The speechrecognition parameters which have been subjected to transmission errors areexcluded from back-end processing by replacing those parameters with datawhich is selected so as to be rejected by the speech recognition decoder asabnormal and/or non-speechlike.
