Abstract:
A word category estimation apparatus (100) includes a word category model (5) which is formed from a probability model having a plurality of kinds of information about a word category as features, and includes information about an entire word category graph as at least one of the features. A word category estimation unit (4) receives the word category graph of a speech recognition hypothesis to be processed, computes scores by referring to the word category model for respective arcs that form the word category graph, and outputs a word category sequence candidate based on the scores.
