Segment Boundaries in Low Latency Phonetic Recognition

This study analyses how the reduction of the look-ahead length of a two pass phonetic decoder influences the alignment of the segment boundaries. It is shown how the optimization of some tuning parameters, such as the insertion penalty, is dependent on the look-ahead length. It is also suggested that the insertion penalty be dynamically adjusted to some measure of similarity of the phonetic segments following each other.
