Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for processing a speech signal. The method can include: processing the speech signal to generate a plurality of speech frames; generating a first number of acoustic features based on the plurality of speech frames using a frame shift at a given frequency; and generating a second number of posteriori probability vectors based on the first number of acoustic features using an acoustic model, wherein each of the posteriori probability vectors comprises probabilities of the acoustic features corresponding to a plurality of modeling units, respectively.

Method and system for processing speech signal

A keyword confirmation method and apparatus are provided. A keyword confirmation method includes: obtaining first audio data, the first audio data being recognized as a keyword; obtaining a pronunciation similarity probability of a similar pronunciation unit corresponding to at least one fragment of the first audio data and second audio data; determining that multiple contiguous silence fragments exist in second audio data contiguous in time with the first audio data; utilizing the silence probability, as well as a pronunciation similarity probability corresponding to fragment(s) of the first audio data and/or a pronunciation similarity probability corresponding to fragment(s) of the second audio data, evaluating whether the second audio data is silence; and confirming the first audio data as an effective keyword.
