Abstract: One significant problem for spoken language systems is how to cope with users' OOD (out-of-domain) utterances which cannot be handled by the back-end system. In this paper, we propose a novel OOD detection framework, which makes use of classification confidence scores of multiple topics and trains a linear discriminant in-domain verifier using GPD. Training is based on deleted interpolation of the in-domain data, and thus does not require actual OOD data, providing high portability. Three topic classification schemes of word N-gram models, LSA, and SVM are evaluated, and SVM is shown to have the greatest discriminative ability. In an OOD detection task, the proposed approach achieves an absolute reduction in EER of 6.5% compared to a baseline method based on a simple combination of multiple-topic classifications. Furthermore, comparison with a system trained using OOD data demonstrates that the proposed training scheme realizes comparable performance while requiring no knowledge of the OOD data set.
