Zusammenfassung:This invention consists of three enhancements to HMM-based automatic language identification systems. The three enhancements are: (i) language-discriminant acoustic model training and recognition, (ii) an acoustic model pruning procedure that picks only those phonetic models which are considered useful for language identification, and (iii) a neural network-based language classification method that uses knowledge-based features derived from phone sequences output by the HMM phonetic recognizers.
