Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for generating a lexicon for use with speech recognition. The method includes overgenerating potential pronunciations by converting portions of symbolic input into a number of possible lexical pronunciation variants based on an established set of conversion rules, wherein the symbolic input comprises labeled speech data and selecting pronunciations in a speech recognition context from the potential pronunciations, to yield selected potential pronunciations. The method further includes retraining the established set of conversion rules based on the selected potential pronunciations.
