摘要:A speech recognition system uses Gaussian mixture variable-parameter hiddenMarkov models (VPHMMs) to recognize speech. The VPHMMs include Gaussian
parameters that vary as a function of at least one environmental conditioning parameter.The relationship of each Gaussian parameter to the environmental conditioningparameter(s) is modeled using a piecewise fitting approach, such as by using splinefunctions. In a training phase, the recognition system can use clustering to identify classesof spline functions, each class grouping together spline functions which are similar toeach other based on some distance measure. The recognition system can then store setsof spline parameters that represent respective classes of spline functions. An instance ofa spline function that belongs to a class can make reference to an associated shared setof spline parameters. The Gaussian parameters can be represented in an efficient formthat accommodates the use of sharing in the above-summarized manner.
