Abstract(in English) In grammar-based LVCSR, the expanded word hypothesis network grows enormously and the grammar only is not enough for word prediction. We propose an efficient two-pass search algorithm by(1)using word(category)-pair constraint as heuristics and(2)tree-organizing the word lexicon for each grammar category, both to represent the whole network in a compact loop structure. Futhermore, (3)the survived words on the first pass are indexed to eliminate candidates to be accessed on the second pass. Experimental results show that our depeloped portable FSA-based parser, named Julian, shows greater performance in cost sand stability than a typical one-pass beam decoder. Finally, our parser archieved a word accuracy of 97.1% with almost real time processing on a 800-word task, and 91.2% with 2.5 times the real time on a 5000-word task.
