چکیده

This paper presents a scheme of speaker-independent isolated word recognition in which Hidden Markov Modelling is used with Vector Quantization codebooks constructed using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for Gaussian mixture models. In comparison with conventional vector quantization, the EM algorithm results in greater recognition accuracy.

4.1 Overview

In this lecture, we will address problems 3 and 4. First, continuing from the previous lecture, we will view BaumWelch Re-estimation as an instance of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm and prove why the EM algorithm maximizes data likelihood. Then, we will proceed to discuss discriminative training under the maximum mutual information estimation (MMIE) framework. Specifically, we will...

Treba: Efficient Numerically Stable EM for PFA

Training probabilistic finite automata with the EM/Baum-Welch algorithm is computationally very intensive, especially if random ergodic automata are used initially, and additional strategies such as deterministic annealing are used. In this paper we present some optimization and parallelization strategies to the Baum-Welch algorithm that often allow for training of much larger automata with a l...

EÆcient EM Learning with Tabulation for Parameterized Logic Programs

We have been developing a general symbolic-statistical modeling language [6, 19, 20] based on the logic programming framework that semantically uni es (and extends) major symbolic-statistical frameworks such as hidden Markov models (HMMs) [18], probabilistic contextfree grammars (PCFGs) [23] and Bayesian networks [16]. The language, PRISM, is intended to model complex symbolic phenomena governe...

A Gentle Tutorial of the EM Algorithm and its Application to Parameter Estimation for Gaussian Mixture and Hidden Markov Models

We describe the maximum-likelihood parameter estimation problem and how the ExpectationMaximization (EM) algorithm can be used for its solution. We first describe the abstract form of the EM algorithm as it is often given in the literature. We then develop the EM parameter estimation procedure for two applications: 1) finding the parameters of a mixture of Gaussian densities, and 2) finding the...

Emergency medicine point-of-care ultrasonography: a national needs assessment of competencies for general and expert practice.

INTRODUCTION Emergency medicine point-of-care ultrasonography (EM-PoCUS) is a core competency for residents in the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and College of Family Physicians of Canada emergency medicine (EM) training programs. Although EM-PoCUS fellowships are currently offered in Canada, there is little consensus regarding what training should be included in a Canadian...
