Abstract
A continuous speech recognition system determines the similarity between input patterns and reference patterns over time such that similarities between previously spoken speech patterns and reference patterns are determined while speech continues to be spoken. Degrees of dissimilarity at arbitrary reference pattern word times are determined asymptotically and are recorded. The minimum degree of dissimilarity is determined and the corresponding word is categorized. Recognition decisions are ultimately made in reverse chronological order.
