Apparatuses, computer program products, and computer-implemented methods for adapting speech recognition confidence scores based on expected response

Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide for adapting speech recognition confidence scores to one or more users based on expect response(s). Some embodiments, receive input speech and generate, based on the input speech and using a recognition algorithm, a recognition hypothesis. The recognition hypothesis may comprise at least one pairing comprising a word and an initial confidence score associated with the word. Some embodiments, determine whether the recognition hypothesis matches an expected response based at least in part on comparing the word to a corresponding word in an expected response. Some embodiments, in response to determining that the recognition hypothesis matches the expected response, updates statistical data associated with the word.
