Automatic Speech Recognition – A Brief History of the Technology Development

B. H. Juang & Lawrence R. Rabiner

Traces automatic speech recognition from rigid template-matching methods to statistical hidden Markov modelling, arguing the shift to a probabilistic framework in the 1980s, not any single algorithm, is what made large-vocabulary continuous recognition practical.

Improved Acoustic Modeling for Continuous Speech Recognition

Lee, Giachin, Rabiner, Pieraccini & Rosenberg

Extends the hidden-Markov-model approach to continuous speech recognition Jelinek's group pioneered with context-dependent phone models and better parameter smoothing, and measures the resulting drop in word-error rate.
