Decoding for channels with insertions, deletions, and substitutions with applications to speech recognition

Bahl, L., Jelinek, F.·1975·IEEE Transactions on Information Theory

Abstract

A model for channels in which an input sequence can produce output sequences of varying length is described. An efficient computational procedure for calculating Pr\{Y\mid X\}is devised, whereX = x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_MandY = y_1,y_2,\cdots,y_Nare the input and output of the channel. A stack decoding algorithm for decoding on such channels is presented. The appropriate likelihood function is derived. Channels with memory are considered. Some applications to speech and character recognition are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
