In the development of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, an extensive study of the basic phonetic alphabet is performed to collect information regarding phonology and phonetics of the language or dialect in question (modern standard Arabic or MSA in this case). In addition, terminological and transcriptional problems are identified with respect to the language or dialect in question. Next, based on feature description (rather than symbol shapes), the symbols in the literature are mapped to a single or more recent phonetic alphabet. Lastly, from a maximal set containing all the phonemes, allophones, and transliteration symbols, a reduced set is created with a compact set of phonetic alphabets. Memory consumption is greatly reduced in a computer system by using this compact set of phonetic alphabets.

Apparatus and methods are provided for calculating soft information in a multi-level modulation scheme using one or more nearest neighbors. The nearest neighbors correspond to signal points in a signal constellation set nearest to the value of a received signal. The nearest neighbors of a received signal can be found by using a second symbol-to-signal point mapping for the signal constellation set that is different from the mapping actually used by the signal modulator. The second symbol mapping can be used to simplify the discover of nearest neighbors. Once the nearest neighbors are found in the second symbol mapping, the nearest symbols can be translated back into the actual symbol mapping using, for example, table lookup. The nearest neighbors in the actual symbol mapping can then be used to compute soft information in the form of, for example, log-likelihood ratios (LLRs).
