Abstract
In some aspects, a wordspotter is used to locate occurrences in an audio corpus of each of a set of predetermined subword units, which may be phoneme sequences. To locate a query (e.g., a keyword or phrase) in the audio corpus, constituent subword units in the query are indentified and then locations of those subwords are determined based on the locations of those subword units determined earlier by the wordspotter, for example, using a pre-built inverted index that maps subword units to their locations.
