IMPROVING THE TRAINING OF MARKOV MODELS USED IN A SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In a word, or speech, recognition system for decoding a vocabulary word from outputs selected from an alphabet of outputs in response to a communicated word input wherein each word in the vocabulary is represented by a baseform of at least one probabilistic finite state model and wherein each probabilistic model has transi- tion probability items and output probability items and wherein a value is stored for each of at least some probability items, the present invention relates to ap- paratus and method for determining probability values for probability items by biassing at least some of the stored values to enhance the likelihood that outputs generated in response to communication of a known word input are produced by the baseform for the known word relative to the respective likelihood of the generated outputs being produced by the baseform for at least one other word. Specifically, the current values of counts --from which probability items are derived-- are ad- justed by uttering a known word and determining how of- ten probability events occur relative to (a) the model corresponding to the known uttered "correct" word and (b) the model of at least one other "incorrect" word. The current count values are increased based on the event occurrences relating co the correct word and are reduced based on the event occurrences relating to the incorrect word or words.
