Boosting HMM performance with a memory upgrade

چکیده
The state-of-the-art in automatic speech recognition is distinctly Markovian. The ubiquitous ‘beads-on-a-string’ approach, where sentences are explained as a sequence of words, words as a sequence of phones and phones as a sequence of acoustically stable states, is bound to lose a lot of dynamic information. In this paper we show that a combination with example-based recognition can be used to recapture some of that information. A new approach to combine Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and phone-examplebased continuous speech recognition is presented. Experiments show that the combination outperforms the HMM recognizer, and indicate that adding long-span information is especially beneficial.

Data selection and model combination in connectionist speech recognition
The hybrid connectionist-hidden Markov model (HMM) approach to large vocabulary continuous speech recognition has been shown to be competitive with HMM based systems. However, the recent availability of extremely large amounts of acoustic training data has highlighted a problem with the connectionist acoustic modelling paradigm. The effective use of such large amounts of data is difficult due t...
متن کاملA New Fast and Efficient HMM-Based Face Recognition System Using a 7-State HMM Along With SVD Coefficients
In this paper, a new Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based face recognition system is proposed. As a novel point despite of five-state HMM used in pervious researches, we used 7-state HMM to cover more details. Indeed we add two new face regions, eyebrows and chin, to the model. As another novel point, we used a small number of quantized Singular Values Decomposition (SVD) coefficients as feature...
متن کاملAlert correlation and prediction using data mining and HMM
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are security tools widely used in computer networks. While they seem to be promising technologies, they pose some serious drawbacks: When utilized in large and high traffic networks, IDSs generate high volumes of low-level alerts which are hardly manageable. Accordingly, there emerged a recent track of security research, focused on alert correlation, which ext...
متن کاملSpeech enhancement based on hidden Markov model using sparse code shrinkage
This paper presents a new hidden Markov model-based (HMM-based) speech enhancement framework based on the independent component analysis (ICA). We propose analytical procedures for training clean speech and noise models by the Baum re-estimation algorithm and present a Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator based on Laplace-Gaussian (for clean speech and noise respectively) combination in the HMM ...

Introduction: Aging and middle aged population growth and increase in life expectancy, has changed the attitude towards elderly. However, decrease in cognitive performance of aged people has always been under investigation. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of working memory software on self-esteem, self-concept and middle aged memory. Methods: This experimental study was car...
