Abstract
A speech recognition system successively processes each encoder state of encoded acoustic features with a frame-synchronous decoder (FSD) and label-synchronous decoder (LSD) modules. Upon identifying an encoder state carrying information about new transcription output, the system expands a current list of FSD prefixes with FSD module, evaluates the FSD prefixes with LSD module, and prunes the FSD prefixes according to joint FSD and LSD scores. FSD and LSD modules are synchronized by having LSD module to process the portion of the encoder states including new transcription output identified by the FSD module and to produce LSD scores for the FSD prefixes determined by the FSD module.
