Abstract
A speech understanding apparatus includes a speech recognition unit which performs speech recognition of an utterance using multiple language models, and outputs multiple speech recognition results obtained by the speech recognition, a language understanding unit which uses multiple language understanding models to perform language understanding for each of the multiple speech recognition results output from the speech recognition unit, and outputs multiple speech understanding results obtained from the language understanding, and an integrating unit which calculates, based on values representing features of the speech understanding results, utterance batch confidences that numerically express accuracy of the speech understanding results for each of the multiple speech understanding results output from the language understanding unit, and selects one of the speech understanding results with a highest utterance batch confidence among the calculated utterance batch confidences.
