Appl. No.:

12/341640

Inventors:

Edward Lin - Pittsburgh PA, US
Rob A. Rutenbar - Pittsburgh PA, US

International Classification:

G10L 15/14
G10L 15/00
G10L 15/18

US Classification:

7042566, 7042561, 704256, 704257

Abstract:

A hardware implemented backend search stage, or engine, for a speech recognition system is provided. In one embodiment, the backend search engine includes a number of pipelined stages including a fetch stage, an updating stage which may be a Viterbi stage, a transition and prune stage, and a language model stage. Each active triphone of each active word is represented by a corresponding triphone model. By being pipelined, the stages of the backend search engine are enabled to simultaneously process different triphone models, thereby providing high-rate backend searching for the speech recognition system. In one embodiment, caches may be used to cache frequently and/or recently accessed triphone information utilized by the fetch stage, frequently and/or recently accessed triphone-to-senone mappings utilized by the updating stage, or both.
