In order to achieve recognition robustness, there's a strong interest among researchers on how to fuse different information sources for speech recognition. A common problem of those approaches is that complementary information is lost either before or after recognition. To avoid this unrecoverable information loss, and to better utilize this complementary information, we proposed a run time information fbsion scheme. The hypothesis of this thesis is that by performing fusion at different levels and stages of a Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) system, especially inside the decoder, more reliable and efficient fusion is possible. 000002357 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002357 650__ $$aSpeech Perception$$026233 000002357 650__ $$aSpeech Recognition Software$$036177 000002357 691__ $$aOGI School of Science and Engineering$$041365 000002357 692__ $$aOGI Department of Computer Science and Engineering$$041405 000002357 7001_ $$aZheng, Chengyi$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002357 7201_ $$aYonghong, Yan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002357 8564_ $$96eb803ad-f9a1-4418-8e6a-aa324bbbca9d$$s6830304$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2357/files/3089_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$275184a12b22240dc7d93eb314a28331a$$31 000002357 905__ $$a/rest/prod/xw/42/n8/11/xw42n811v 000002357 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2357$$pstudent-work 000002357 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
