abstract = "Although the importance of contextual information in speech recognition has been acknowledged for a long time now, it
has remained clearly underutilized even in state-of-the-art speech recognition systems. This article introduces a novel,
methodologically hybrid approach to the research question of context-dependent speech recognition in human–machine
interaction. To the extent that it is hybrid, the approach integrates aspects of both statistical and representational
paradigms. We extend the standard statistical pattern-matching approach with a cognitively inspired and analytically
tractable model with explanatory power. This methodological extension allows for accounting for contextual information
which is otherwise unavailable in speech recognition systems, and using it to improve post-processing of recognition
hypotheses. The article introduces an algorithm for evaluation of recognition hypotheses, illustrates it for concrete
interaction domains, and discusses its implementation within two prototype conversational agents.",
