The trended HMM with discriminative training for phonetic classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we extend the Maximum Likelihood (ML) training algorithm to the Minimum classificnrtion Emor (MCE) training algorithm for optimal estimation of the state-dependent polynomial coefficients in the trended HMM [2]. The problem of automatic speech recognition is viewed as a discriminative dynamic data-fitting problem, where nlotiue (not absolute) closeness in fitting an array of dynamic speech models to the unknown speech data sequence provides the recognition decision. In this view, the properties of the MCE formulation for training the trended HMM are analyzed by fitting raw s p d data using MCEtrained trended BMMS, contrasting the poor discriminative fitting using the MIrtrained models. Comparisons between the phonetic clasjsification as well as data-fitting results obtained with ML and -114th MCE training algorithms demonstrate the effectiveness of the discriminatively trained trended HMMs.

In this paper we present an algorithm for estimating state-dependent polynomial coefficients in the nonstationary-state hidden Markov model (or the trended HMM) which allows for the flexibility of linear time warping or scaling in individual model states. The need for the state-dependent time warping arises from the consideration that due to speaking rate variation and other temporal factors in...
متن کاملMinimum boundary error training for automatic phonetic segmentation
Annotated speech corpora are indispensable to various areas of speech research. In this paper, we present a novel discriminative training approach for HMM-based automatic phonetic segmentation. The objective of the proposed minimum boundary error (MBE) discriminative training approach is to minimize the expected boundary errors over a set of phonetic alignments represented as a phonetic lattice...
