中文摘要：

提出了一种联合语种识别的新型大词汇量连续语音识别（Large vocabulary continuous speech recognition，LVCSR）算法，并构建了实时处理系统，该算法能够充分利用语音解码过程中收集的音素识别假设，在识别语音内容的同时识别语种类别。该系统可以应用于多语种环境，不仅可以以更小的系统整体计算开销替代独立的语种识别模块，更能有效应对在同一段语音中混有非目标语种的情况，极大地减少由百目标语种引入的无意义识别错误，避免错误积累对后续识别过程的误导，为将语音内容识别和语种识别紧密整合件一个统一语音识别解码过程中，本文提出了三种不同的算法对解码产生的音素格结构进行调整（重构）：一方面去除语音识别中由发音字典和语言模型引入的特定目标语种偏置，另一方面在音素格中包含更加丰富的音素识别假设。实验证明，音素格重构算法可有效提高联合识别中语种识别的精度，在汉语为目标语种、汉英混杂的电话对讯语音库上测试表明，本文提出的联合识别算法将集外语种引起的无意义识别错误减少了91．76％，纯汉字识别错误率为54．98％。

英文摘要：

In this paper, a novel large vocabulary continuous speech recognition （LVCSR） algorithm combined with language recognition is proposed, and a real-time processing system is developed. This algorithm can make full use of phonetic hypotheses collected during decoding, and identify language types simultaneously. In a multilingual environment, this algorithm can not only take the place of a standalone language recognizer at a lower system overall computational cost, but also effectively cope with the case where target and non-target languages mix in a single utterance. It can significantly reduce speech recognition error introduced by non-target language, and avoid error accumulation which may mislead the subsequent decoding procedure. In order to tightly combine the content and language recognition into a unified decoding procedure, three different phone lattice reconstruction algorithms are also proposed to eliminate pronunciation and grammar restrictions introduced by the target language＇s dictionary and language model of the LVCSR decoder, and to encode lattices with richer phonetic information. Experiments show that the lattice reconstruction algorithms can significantly improve language recognition accuracy in the combined recognition. Evaluated on a Mandarin/English mixed conversational telephone speech corpus where Mandarin is the target language, the proposed algorithms reduced the recognition error introduced by non-target language by 91.76 %, and achieved a character error rate of 54.98 %.
