Methods and apparatus for performing speech recognition using a garbage model. The method comprises receiving audio comprising speech and processing at least some of the speech using a garbage model to produce a garbage speech recognition result. The garbage model includes a plurality of sub-words, each of which corresponds to a possible combination of phonemes in a particular language.

Methods and apparatus for speech recognition using a garbage model

A method for automatically providing a hypothesis of a linguistic formulation that is uttered by users of a voice service based on an automatic speech recognition system and that is outside a recognition domain of the automatic speech recognition system. The method includes providing a constrained and an unconstrained speech recognition from an input speech signal, identifying a part of the constrained speech recognition outside the recognition domain, identifying a part of the unconstrained speech recognition corresponding to the identified part of the constrained speech recognition, and providing the linguistic formulation hypothesis based on the identified part of the unconstrained speech recognition.
