Abstract
decide which contexts are similar and can share parameters. A key feature of this approach is that it allows the construction of models which are dependent upon contextual effects occurring across word boundaries. The use of cross word context dependent models presents problems for conventional decoders. The second part of the thesis therefore presents a new decoder design which is capable of using these models efficiently. The decoder is suitable for use with very large vocabularies and long span language models. It is also capable of generating a lattice of word hypotheses with little computational overhead. These lattices can be used to constrain further decoding, allowing efficient use of complex acoustic and language models. The effectiveness of these techniques has been assessed on a variety of large vocabulary continuous speech recognition tasks and results are presented which analyse performance in terms of computational complexity and recognition accuracy. The experiments dem
