Rescoring of N-Best Hypotheses Using Top-Down Selective Attention for Automatic Speech Recognition.

In this letter, we propose an N-best rescoring system that integrates attentional information for locally confusing words extracted from alternative hypotheses to a conventional speech recognition system. The attentional information is derived by adapting a test input feature for the word of interest, which is motivated by the top-down selective attention mechanism of the brain. To rescore the com...
