An Evaluation of the Contextual Spelling Checker

Microsoft Office Word 2007 includes a “contextual spelling checker” that is intended to find misspellings that nonetheless form correctly spelled words. In an evaluation on 1400 examples, it is found to have high precision but low recall — that is, it fails to find most errors, but when it does flag a possible error, it is almost always correct. However, its performance in terms ofF is inferior...

Acoustic Model Training with Detecting Transcription Errors in the Training Data

As the target of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has moved from clean read speech to spontaneous conversational speech, we need to prepare orthographic transcripts of spontaneous conversational speech to train acoustic models (AMs). However, it is expensive and slow to manually transcribe such speech word by word. We propose a framework to train an AM based on easy-to-make rough transcripts ...

Kolmogorov Structure Functions for Automatic Complexity in Computational Statistics

For a finite word w of length n and a class of finite automata A, we study the Kolmogorov structure function hw for automatic complexity restricted to A. We propose an approach to computational statistics based on the minimum p-value of hw(m) over 0 ≤ m ≤ n. When A is the class of all finite automata we give some upper bounds for hw. When A consists of automata that detect several success runs ...
