Abstract

We present a procedure that determines a set of phonemes possibly intended by a speaker from a recognized or uttered phone. This information will be used to allow a speech recognizer to take pronunciation into account or to consider input from a noisy source during lexical access. We investigate the hypothesis that different pronunciations of a phone occur within groups of sounds physically produced the same way, and use the Minimum Message Length principle to consider the effect of a phoneme's context on its pronunciation.
