Comparison of continuous-density and semi-continuous HMM in isolated words recognition systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several types of Semi-Continuous HMM (SC-HMM) have been compared with the Continuous Density HMM (CD-HMM) in the context of Speaker Independent Isolated Words Recognition (SI-IWR). It is demonstrated that for the ten-digit vocabulary (TIDIGITS), the SC-HMM outperforms the CD-HMM when memory constraints are imposed on the system. SC-HMMs demonstrate recognition rate of about 95% with a total of 59 Gaussians, while under similar conditions the CD-HMM yield recognition rates of well below 80%. An algorithm for optimal selection of Gaussian functions for SC-HMM is presented.

Comparison of classic and hybrid HMM approaches to speech recognition over telephone lines
The subject of the present dissertation is the automatic speaker-inde¬ pendent recognition of isolated German digits spoken (by Swiss people) over the public switched telephone network. The approaches considered for this task are all based on hidden Markov models (HMMs). In ad¬ dition to the classic HMM approaches, several connectionist ideas are investigated in order to improve the discriminat...

This paper presents the results of the comparison of continuous and discrete density Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) used for cursive handwriting recognition. For comparison, a subset of a large vocabulary (1000 word), writer-independent online handwriting recognition system for word and sentence recognition was used, which was developed at Duisburg University. This system has some unique features ...

In this paper we compare the performance of speech recognition systems based on hidden Markov models (HMM) with quantized parameters (qHMMs) and subspace distribution clustering hidden Markov models (SDCHMMs). Both of these HMM types provide similar performance as continuous density HMMs, but with significantly reduced memory requirements (approximately 90% less memory was needed to store the H...

متن کاملPresentation of K Nearest Neighbor Gaussian Interpolation and comparing it with Fuzzy Interpolation in Speech Recognition
Hidden Markov Model is a popular statisical method that is used in continious and discrete speech recognition. The probability density function of observation vectors in each state is estimated with discrete density or continious density modeling. The performance (in correct word recognition rate) of continious density is higher than discrete density HMM, but its computation complexity is very ...
