Abstract:
The present invention improves the accuracy of language prediction. A history speech meta-information understanding unit 11 obtains a history speech meta-information vector from a word string of a preceding speech using a meta-information understanding device. A history speech embedding unit 12 converts the word string of the preceding speech and a speaker label into a history speech embedding vector. A speech unit combination vector construction unit 13 obtains a speech unit combination vector by combining the history speech meta-information vector and the history speech embedding vector. A speech sequence embedding vector calculation unit 14 converts a plurality of speech unit combination vectors obtained for the past speech sequences to a speech sequence embedding vector. A language model score calculation unit 15 calculates a language model score of a current speech from a word string of the current speech, a speaker label, and a speech sequence embedding vector.
