Abstract
A method for speech recognition of partial proper names is described which includes natural language processing (NLP), partial name candidate generation, speech recognition and post processing. Natural language processing techniques including shallow and deep parsing are applied to long proper names to identify syntactic units (for example, noun phrases). The syntactic units form a basis for generating a candidate list of partial names for each original full name. A partial name is part of the original name, with some words omitted, or word order changed, or even word substitution. After candidate partial names are generated, their phonetic transcriptions are incorporated into a model for a speech recognizer to recognize the partial names in a speech recognition system.
