Abstract
This paper describes the design of an Out-Of-Vocabulary words (OOV) detector. Such a system is assumed to detect segments that correspond to OOV words (words that are not included in the lexicon) in the output of a LVCSR system. The OOV detector uses acoustic confidence measures that are derived from several systems: a word recognizer constrained by a lexicon, a phone recognizer constrained by a grammar and a phone recognizer without constraints. On top of that it also uses some linguistic features. The experimental results on a French broadcast news transcription task showed that for our approach precision equals recall at 35%.
