System and method for phonetic hashing and named entity linking from output of speech recognition

摘要

A system and method for named entity linking from the output of speech-to-text systems by using an approximate string matching that normalizes common sounds, removes ambiguities, removes silent consonants, and accounts for speech slurring for long names. Additionally, the system and method for named entity linking from the output of speech-to-text systems employs a hierarchical matching system that performs multiple attempts using various mechanisms for resolving the name, starting with a very strict mechanism, and proceeding sequentially through less strict mechanisms.
