In this paper, we present an approach to Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) where we perform a combination of multiple hypotheses from several Automatic Speech Recognizers (ASRs) in order to reduce the impact of recognition errors in the SLU module. This combination is performed using a Grammatical Inference algorithm that provides a generalization of the input sentences by means of a weighted graph of words. We have also developed a specific SLU algorithm that is able to process these graphs of words according to a stochastic semantic modelling.The results show that the combinations of several hypotheses from the ASR module outperform the results obtained by taking just the 1-best transcription.
