Optionally, the data processing according to the embodiment of the present application may be implemented in a cloud computing-based manner. Among them, cloud computing (cloud computing) is a computing model that distributes computing tasks over a resource pool formed by a large number of computers, so that various application systems can obtain computing power, storage space, and information services as needed. The network that provides the resources is referred to as the "cloud". Resources in the "cloud" appear to the user as being infinitely expandable and available at any time, available on demand, expandable at any time, and paid for on-demand.

The terms referred to in the embodiments of the present application are explained below:
acoustic characteristics: the method includes the steps of characterizing the energy of audio, zero-crossing rate, Linear Prediction Coefficient (LPC) coefficient and the like, and the acoustic features include time domain features and/or frequency domain features, wherein the time domain features are features extracted directly on the basis of an original voice signal, and the frequency domain features are features extracted by performing Fourier transform on the original voice signal, converting the original signal into a frequency domain and then extracting the frequency domain.
In the present embodiment, when the extracted acoustic feature is a Frequency domain feature, it may be a filter bank (Fbank) -based feature, a Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) feature, a Perceptual Linear prediction coefficient (PLP) feature, or the like.
The Acoustic Model ((Acoustic Model, AM), knowledge representation of the differences of acoustics, phonetics, environmental variables, speaker gender, accent, etc., may be based on an Acoustic Model of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM), such as a hybrid gaussian Hidden Markov Model (GMM-HMM) and a Deep Neural network Hidden Markov Model (DNN) -HMM), which is a weighted finite state automaton in a discrete time domain, or of course, an Acoustic Model of an End-to-End (End) such as a connected time series Classification (CTC) Model, a Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) Model, and an Attention (Attention) Model.
Each state of the acoustic model represents the probability distribution of the phonetic features of a phonetic unit (such as a word, a syllable, a phoneme, and the like) in the state, and the phonetic features are connected into an ordered state sequence through the transition between the states, so that the sequence of the phonetic units represented by a section of phonetic signal is obtained.

The terms "viterbi path" and "viterbi algorithm" are also used to find the dynamic programming algorithm for which observations are most likely to explain the correlation. Dynamic programming algorithms, such as in statistical syntactic analysis, may be used to find the most likely context-free derived (parsed) strings, sometimes referred to as "viterbi analysis".
The viterbi algorithm is also used today in speech recognition, keyword recognition, computational linguistics and bioinformatics, among others. For example, in speech (speech recognition), the acoustic signal is considered as the observed sequence of events, while the text string is considered as the underlying cause of the acoustic signal, so that the viterbi algorithm can be applied to the acoustic signal to find the most likely text string.
The basis of the viterbi algorithm can be summarized as the following three points:
first, if the most probable path passes through a point in the fence network, the sub-path from the starting point to that point must also be the most probable path from the start to that point.
Second, assume that there are k states at the ith time, there are k shortest paths from the beginning to the k states at the ith time, and the final shortest path must pass through one of them, where i and k are natural numbers.
Thirdly, according to the above-mentioned properties, when calculating the shortest path of the i +1 th state, only the shortest path from the beginning to the current k state values and the shortest path from the current state value to the i +1 th state value need to be considered, for example, when t is equal to 3, the shortest path is equal to the shortest path of all state nodes when t is equal to 2, plus the shortest path of each node when t is equal to 2 to t is equal to 3.

When the method is implemented by a server, the voice data to be recognized may be voice data received by the server from the terminal device.
The acoustic feature information and the language feature information of the voice data to be recognized can be obtained based on the acoustic features of the voice data to be recognized, correspondingly, when the voice data to be recognized is obtained, the acoustic features of the voice data to be recognized can be extracted, and the acoustic feature information and the language feature information of the voice data to be recognized are determined based on the acoustic features of the voice data to be recognized. The acoustic features may be Fbank features for extracting the voice data to be recognized, MFCC features and PLP features, or other types of acoustic features, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the acoustic feature in the embodiment of the present application may be an Fbank feature.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the acquiring acoustic feature information and language feature information of the voice data to be recognized includes:
obtaining an acoustic model score of the voice data to be recognized through an acoustic model, wherein the acoustic characteristic information comprises the acoustic model score, the acoustic model score represents the probability that the voice data to be recognized corresponds to a preset state, and the preset state is a basic composition element of a text;
and acquiring a language model score of the voice data to be recognized through a language model, wherein the language characteristic information comprises the language model score, and the language model score represents the score of the text corresponding to the candidate recognition path of the voice data to be recognized.
The acoustic feature information is used to represent specific information of a speech unit (for example, a word, a syllable, a phoneme, and the like) that the speech data to be recognized may correspond to, and the language feature information is used to represent a language structure in a text that the speech data to be recognized corresponds to, such as a rule between words and sentences in the text. Optionally, in an optional embodiment of the present application, the acoustic feature information may be characterized by an acoustic model score, and the language feature information may be characterized by a language model score, where the acoustic model score characterizes a probability that the speech data to be recognized corresponds to a basic constituent element of the text, such as a probability that the speech data to be recognized corresponds to each word, syllable, or phoneme, and the language model score characterizes a probability that the text corresponding to the candidate recognition path obtained when the speech data to be recognized is a complete sentence.
Optionally, when determining the acoustic model score of the to-be-recognized voice data based on the acoustic feature of the to-be-recognized voice data, the acoustic feature of the to-be-recognized voice data may be input into a preset acoustic model to obtain the acoustic model score of the to-be-recognized voice data; the predetermined acoustic model may be a CTC model, but may also be an LSTM acoustic model, a CNN-DNN acoustic model, or the like. When the voice model score of the voice data to be recognized is determined based on the acoustic feature of the voice data to be recognized, the language model score of the voice data to be recognized can be determined according to a preset language model. The preset language model may be an N-gram model, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.
Step S102, according to the acoustic characteristic information and the language characteristic information, determining a target recognition path matched with the voice data to be recognized in the pre-constructed static word graph, and recording word node information of each word node in the candidate recognition path of the voice data to be recognized.
The static word graph is a common expression form of a speech recognition result, and represents a plurality of candidate results obtained by decoding in a speech recognition process on a directed acyclic graph. The static word graph includes nodes and arcs connecting the nodes, the included nodes include a start node and an end node, the start node represents a start position when the voice data is decoded based on the static word graph, and the end node represents an end position when the voice data is decoded based on the static word graph. Alternatively, the phonemes may be represented by nodes in the static word graph, the connection relationship between the phonemes may be represented by arcs connecting the nodes, a path of the static word graph includes the nodes and the arcs connecting the nodes, at this time, the nodes and the words represented by the arcs connecting the nodes form a sentence, and when the phonemes represented by a node may form a word itself or may form a word with the phonemes of the nodes connected by arcs, the node may be referred to as a word node (hereinafter, referred to as a word output node).
For example, a path on the static word graph includes a node a and a node B, the node a and the node B are connected by an arc, the node a represents a phoneme "w", the node B represents a phoneme "o", and at this time, the node a and the node B may form a word "i", and then the node B is the word-out node.
Alternatively, in practical applications, the static word graph may also use arcs to represent words, and nodes represent the connection relationship of the words, and each word belongs to a path from the beginning node to the ending node, that is, a path of the static word graph may represent a sentence composed of words represented by arcs.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, a static word graph is shown, and the static word graph has a path S, which includes a start node (i.e., enter), a node a, a node B, a node C, a node D, and an end node (i.e., exit), wherein an arc between the node a and the node B represents "i", an arc between the node B and the node C represents "want", and an arc between the node C and the node D represents "eat", and then the path S represents "i want to eat".
In an optional embodiment of the present application, for any word node, the word node information includes a word identifier and word boundary information corresponding to the node.
The word identifier is used to identify words that can be formed by word nodes, and the word boundary information refers to time information of the voice data that activates the word node in the voice data to be recognized, for example, the 2 nd frame data activates the word node a, and the word boundary information corresponding to the word node a is the 2 nd frame. The method of recording the word node information of each word node may be configured in advance, for example, a trace module may be added in the process of decoding the voice data to be recognized, the trace module may include each trace unit, and each trace unit records the word node information of one word node.
Optionally, the voice data to be recognized includes at least one frame of voice data, for each frame of voice data, each frame of voice data may be decoded based on the preset static word graph, at this time, each active node may be obtained, each active node may form at least one candidate recognition path for obtaining a recognition result of the voice data to be recognized, then a word output node in each active node is determined (for example, an active node having a word identifier is used as a word output node), and a word identifier and word boundary information (that is, corresponding word node information) corresponding to each word output node are obtained and recorded.
Optionally, when each candidate recognition path is obtained based on the preset static word graph decoding, a target recognition path for obtaining a recognition result of the to-be-recognized voice data may be obtained from each candidate recognition path by using a viterbi algorithm based on the acoustic model score and the language model score of the to-be-recognized voice data. Optionally, when the target identification path is obtained from each candidate identification path, for each candidate identification path, the acoustic model scores and the language model scores corresponding to each node included in the candidate identification path may be respectively accumulated, then the composite score of the candidate identification path is obtained based on the acoustic model scores and the language model scores obtained through accumulation, and the target identification path is determined from each candidate identification path based on the composite score of each candidate identification path.
In an example, after the voice data to be recognized is decoded according to a preset static word diagram, P candidate paths are searched in the preset static word diagram, at this time, acoustic model scores of the P candidate paths and language model scores of the P candidate paths may be obtained, and then weight values corresponding to the acoustic model scores of the P candidate paths and weight values corresponding to the language model scores of the P candidate paths are obtained; then, according to the weight values corresponding to the acoustic model scores of the P candidate paths, the weight values corresponding to the language model scores of the P candidate paths, the acoustic model scores of the P candidate paths and the language model scores of the P candidate paths, the acoustic model scores and the language model scores of the P candidate paths are subjected to weighted summation to determine the comprehensive scores of the P candidate paths, then the comprehensive scores of the P candidate paths are sequenced, and the candidate path with the highest comprehensive score is determined as the target identification path. The language model score of each candidate path is the sum of the language model scores of the active nodes included in the candidate path, the acoustic model score of each candidate path is the sum of the acoustic model scores of the active nodes included in the candidate path, and the acoustic model score and the language model score of each active node can be obtained based on the acoustic features corresponding to the voice data to be recognized.
And step S103, obtaining a recognition result of the voice data to be recognized according to the target recognition path.
Correspondingly, after the target recognition path is obtained, the nodes included in the target recognition path and the words represented by the arcs between the nodes can be determined, and then the voice recognition result of the voice data to be recognized is obtained according to the sequential combination of the nodes. For example, assuming that a preset static word graph represents words through arcs, and nodes represent connection relations of the words, a target recognition path includes a start node, a node 1, a node 2, a node 3, and an end node, where an arc between the node 1 and the node 2 represents "vacation", and an arc between the node 2 and the node 3 represents "yes", a recognition result obtained based on the target recognition path is "vacation".
And step S104, based on the word identifiers of the recognition words in the voice recognition result and the word node information of the word nodes in the candidate recognition path, performing path backtracking according to the target recognition path to obtain the word boundary information of the recognition words in the voice data to be recognized in the voice recognition result.
Optionally, the path backtracking may be performed according to the target recognition path, each word output node included in the target recognition path is determined, and word node information corresponding to each word output node included in the target recognition path is determined from the recorded word node information of each word output node, and since the word node information corresponding to the word output node includes the word identifier and the word boundary information, at this time, the word boundary information of each recognition word in the voice recognition result in the to-be-recognized voice data may be determined from the word node information corresponding to each word output node included in the target recognition path according to the word identifier of each recognition word in the voice recognition result.
In the embodiment of the application, in the process of determining the recognition result of the voice data to be recognized, word node information corresponding to each word node in the candidate recognition path of the voice data to be recognized can be recorded, then the voice recognition result of the voice data to be recognized can be obtained according to the target recognition path, path backtracking is performed according to the target recognition path based on the word identifier of each recognition word in the voice recognition result and the recorded word node information of each word node, word boundary information of each recognition word in the voice data to be recognized in the voice recognition result is obtained, because the word node information of each word node is the information of the node which can be used for obtaining the final result in the process of obtaining the voice recognition result, the relation between the voice recognition result and the word boundary information can be determined without reconstructing a recognition network, the relation between the voice recognition result and the word boundary information can be directly known based on the word node information of each word node, the word boundary information can be obtained while the voice recognition result is obtained, the method is more convenient and fast, the time consumption for recognizing the word boundary information is reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:
acquiring word information of each word in the recognition result, wherein for any word, the word information comprises at least one of the number of characters of the word containing the recognition word or acoustic characteristic information corresponding to the recognition word;
based on the word identifiers of the recognition words in the voice recognition result and the word node information of the word nodes in the candidate recognition path, backtracking is carried out according to the target recognition path, and word boundary information of the recognition words in the voice data to be recognized in the voice recognition result is obtained, and the method comprises the following steps:
backtracking according to the target recognition path based on the word identification of each recognition word in the voice recognition result and the word node information of each word node in the candidate recognition path to obtain initial word boundary information of each recognition word in the voice data to be recognized in the voice recognition result;
and for each recognition word in the voice recognition result, correcting initial word boundary information of the recognition word in the voice data to be recognized based on the word information of the recognition word to obtain corrected word boundary information.
The word information of each recognized word in the obtained speech recognition result includes at least one of the number of characters included in the recognized word or the acoustic feature information corresponding to the recognized word.
