Speech recognition using temporally connected kernels in mixture density hidden Markov models
نویسنده
چکیده
A method is presented for speeding up the performance of the HMM based speech recognition system where the states are modeled by a large number of Gaussian kernels. The emission probabilities of the states are usually dominated by the nearest Gaussians to the input vector. The speedup is gained without deteriorating the recognition accuracy by concentrating on these kernels in the reduced K-best-kernel search. In this work, the time information of the input is encoded to the connections of the kernels. The search for the dominating kernels is then performed along the kernel connections which model the trajectories of the speech in the feature space. In the experiments, speaker-dependent speech recognizers were trained for ten speakers. The number of distance computations between feature vectors and kernel mean vectors was reduced 75% without increasing the average phoneme recognition error, which was 5.7% for the baseline system.

Speech Recognition is a process of transcribing speech to text. Phoneme based modeling is used where in each phoneme is represented by Continuous Density Hidden Markov Model. Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) are extracted from speech signal, delta and double-delta features representing the temporal rate of change of features are added which considerably improves the recognition accura...
متن کاملTraining Augmented Models Using SVMs
There has been significant interest in developing new forms of acoustic model, in particular models which allow additional dependencies to be represented than those contained within a standard hidden Markov model (HMM). This paper discusses one such class of models, augmented statistical models. Here, a local exponential approximation is made about some point on a base model. This allows additi...
