In this paper, we propose an alternative keyword spotting method relying on confidence measures and support vector machines. Confidence measures are computed from phone information provided by a Hidden Markov Model based speech recognizer. We use three kinds of techniques, i.e., arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means to compute a confidence measure for each word. The acceptance/rejection decision of a word is based on the confidence vector processed by the SVM classifier for which we propose a new Beta kernel. The performance of the proposed SVM classifier is compared with spotting methods based on some confidence means. Experimental results presented in this paper show that the proposed SVM classifier method improves the performances of the keyword spotting system.

The paper describes the key concepts of a word spotting system for Russian based on large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. Key algorithms and system settings are described, including the pronunciation variation algorithm, and the experimental results on the real-life telecom data are provided. The description of system architecture and the user interface is provided. The system is based on CMU Sphinx open-source speech recognition platform and on the linguistic models and algorithms developed by Speech Drive LLC. The effective combination of baseline statistic methods, real-world training data, and the intensive use of linguistic knowledge led to a quality result applicable to industrial use.
