Abstract

A method and system for acoustic model conditioning on non-phoneme information features for optimized automatic speech recognition is provided. The method includes using an encoder model to encode sound embedding from a known key phrase of speech and conditioning an acoustic model with the sound embedding to optimize its performance in inferring the probabilities of phonemes in the speech. The sound embedding can comprise non-phoneme information related to the key phrase and the following utterance. Further, the encoder model and the acoustic model can be neural networks that are jointly trained with audio data.
