Subject: reference needed (ASR) From: Toth Laszlo <tothl@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 12:37:34 +0200Dear List, I know that speech recognition is a bit off-topic here, but I don't know of a more proper place to ask this. A reviewer wrote to a paper of mine that "the fact that better phone recognition does not necessarily mean better word recognition is already known, and people have been talking about it very frequently. This should be made clear and perperly referenced in the paper". Unfortunately, I'm personally sure that I've never seen this written down, because it would have saved me a lot of work -- but, unfortunately, I had to learned it from my own failures, so I'm sure I won't be able to recall any references for this. I'm also unable to figure out how to turn this thing into a reasonable Google search term (actually, I've just managed to find a reference for just the opposite - that "better phone recognition undoubtedly leads to better word recognition"). So, if anyone can tell me any paper stating or showing results that "better phone recognition does not necessarily mean better word recognition", I would be very grateful.
