Keyword spotting using OpenEars – Politepix /forums/topic/keyword-spotting-using-openears/feed/ Tue, 23 Apr 2024 15:07:32 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.9 en-US /forums/topic/keyword-spotting-using-openears/#post-9715 <![CDATA[Keyword spotting using OpenEars]]> /forums/topic/keyword-spotting-using-openears/#post-9715 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:51:44 +0000 mariagrineva I am trying to use OpenEars as an additional tool to Nuance that would help it with recognizing names from person’s contact list.

For example, I would send to Nuance “Call my friend Maxim” and usually it hears “mexican” instead. And I would have a separate OpenEars thread that would specifically listen to friend’s names only. And if this thread could catch “Maxim” in my phrase, that would be fantastically helpful to me!

Now, I have tried to create a custom dictionary made of friends’ names and run OpenEars sample. And it recognized the whole phrase “Call my friend Maxim” into words of this custom dictionary. It has caught ‘Maxim’ correctly, but also it has drew up other words to my friends’ names. Is it possible to have a separate recognitionScore for each recognized word in the input?

Thanks

Or is the issue that the rest of the sentence is being recognized correctly but you want to disregard non-name words which are in your language model?

The end goal is just to be informed that “Maxim” was detected in the sentence without needing to know the specifics about the other words, is that correct? I don’t think there is a way to get per-word scores for a multiple word sentence, but n-best scoring will be coming up in the next version of OpenEars.

Similarly, if I say ‘Call restaurant’ it would recognize ‘Molly Cris Ann’
I am looking for a way to know that ‘Maxim’ In the first case was recognized with a higher probability

I’m hoping to release the next version around next Monday.

Looking forward to try out the idea. Please let me know if I can get the next cersionearlier to play with it, even if it’s still buggy

The new version is up (I haven’t had time to update the detailed documentation so I haven’t announced it yet but you can see it at /openears) so you can give it a try. There is a preprocessor define that turns on n-best in the new sample app so you can uncomment it to experiment with n-best and scoring.

Thanks for the update! What should I uncomment to try the new feature?

Take a look at the sample app and search for “nbest”.

Thanks, I figured it out and ran the sample. Yeah, n-best is not exactly what I need (I need rather per-word score), but will try to play with it and see.

Another question: how big the grammar can be? I have a vocabulary of around 2000 words, is it OK?

Try setting n-best to return the 1 best hyp with a score and I think you should receive the score per word.
