A method for deriving equivalence classes for lexical access in speech recognition is considered, which automatically derives equivalence classes from training data using unsupervised learning and the Minimum Message Length Criterion. These classes model insertions, deletions and substitutions in an input phoneme string due to mis-recognition and mis-pronunciation, and allow unlikely word candidates to be eliminated quickly. This in turn allows a more detailed examination of the remaining candidates to be carried out efficiently.
