Extended Baum Transformations for General Functions, II

چکیده
The discrimination technique for estimating the parameters of Gaussian mixtures that is based on the Extended Baum transformations (EB) has had significant impact on the speech recognition community. The proof that definitively shows that these transformations increase the value of an objective function with iteration (i.e., so-called ”growth transformations”) was presented by the author two years ago for a diagonal Gaussian mixture densities. In this paper this proof is extended to a multidimensional multivariant Gaussian mixtures. The proof presented in the current paper is based on the linearization process and the explicit growth estimate for linear forms of Gaussian mixtures.

Adapted Extended Baum-Welch Transformations
The discrimination technique for estimating parameters of Gaussian mixtures that is based on the Extended Baum-Welch transformations (EBW) has had significant impact on the speech recognition community. In this paper we introduce a general definition of a family of EBW transformations that can be associated with a weighted sum of updated and initial models. We compute a gradient steepness measu...
متن کاملSome properties of extended multiplier transformations to the classes of meromorphic multivalent functions
In this paper, we introduce new classes $sum_{k,p,n}(alpha ,m,lambda ,l,rho )$ and $mathcal{T}_{k,p,n}(alpha ,m,lambda ,l,rho )$ of p-valent meromorphic functions defined by using the extended multiplier transformation operator. We use a strong convolution technique and derive inclusion results. A radius problem and some other interesting properties of these classes are discussed.
متن کاملAudio classification using extended baum-welch transformations
Audio classification has applications in a variety of contexts, such as automatic sound analysis, supervised audio segmentation and in audio information search and retrieval. Extended Baum-Welch (EBW) transformations are most commonly used as a discriminative technique for estimating parameters of Gaussian mixtures, though recently they have been applied in unsupervised audio segmentation. In t...
متن کاملSuper- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions from the point of view of approximation
The way super- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions are introduced involve suprema and infima taken over simplexes whose dimensions may grow arbitrarily. Exact values of such transformations may thus be hard to determine in general. In this note we discuss methods of algorithmic approximation of such transformations.
متن کاملDiscriminative speaker adaptation with conditional maximum likelihood linear regression
We present a simplified derivation of the extended Baum-Welch procedure, which shows that it can be used for Maximum Mutual Information (MMI) of a large class of continuous emission density hidden Markov models (HMMs). We use the extended Baum-Welch procedure for discriminative estimation of MLLR-type speaker adaptation transformations. The resulting adaptation procedure, termed Conditional Max...
