SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TEXT NORMALIZATION IN NOISY CHANNELS

Systems and methods for text normalization in a plurality of noisy channels receive a text entry and channel origin data of the text entry; determine whether the text entry matches an in-vocabulary (IV) entry or whether the text entry is an out-of-vocabulary (OOV) entry; if the text entry is determined to have a matching IV entry, output the matching IV entry, and if the text entry is determined to be an OOV entry, implement a channel-specific error-type adapter framework based on the channel origin data, wherein the channel-specific error-type adapter framework is optimized for a specific channel from which the text entry originated; normalize the text entry using the channel-specific error-type adapter framework; and output one or more candidate normalized forms of the text entry.
