Memory space reduction for hidden Markov models in low-resource speech recognition systems

چکیده

Low-cost recognition systems based on hidden Markov models (HMM) for mobile speech recognizers (mobile phones, PDAs) have a limited quantity of memory and processing power. Furthermore, the resources have to be shared between several applications. In this paper memory efficient HMMs were investigated for low-cost recognition platforms. The feature parameter tying HMM and subspace distribution clustering HMM (SDCHMM) were explored. In order to achieve less memory requirements, a shared codebook approach for feature parameter tying HMM and SDCHMM was developed and its effectiveness was experimentally proved. It was shown that this approach leads to a relative increase of word error rate of less than 10% for 50% of memory reduction.

Persian Phone Recognition Using Acoustic Landmarks and Neural Network-based variability compensation methods

Speech recognition is a subfield of artificial intelligence that develops technologies to convert speech utterance into transcription. So far, various methods such as hidden Markov models and artificial neural networks have been used to develop speech recognition systems. In most of these systems, the speech signal frames are processed uniformly, while the information is not evenly distributed ...

Today’s state-of-the-art speech recognition systems typically use continuous density hidden Markov models with mixture of Gaussian distributions. Such speech recognition systems have problems; they require too much memory to run, and are too slow for large vocabulary applications. Two approaches are proposed for the design of compact acoustic models, namely, subspace distribution clustering hid...
