Abstract: We propose an automatic method to set-up the several parameters that define the behavior and performance of a typical speech recognition engine. Such parameters include weights and beam widths among others. Our method is based on the definition of a merit function. Here, merit is understood as an intuitive notion of recognition performance based on both recognition accuracy and computation time. A convenient definition of merit allows to apply an optimization procedure to define a convenient set-up for the recognizer with little human intervention. The method is applied to adjust the recognition parameters of two different LVCSR applications, one in American English and another in Japanese.
