Maximum mutual information estimation of hidden Markov model parameters for speech recognition

Bahl, L., Brown, P., de Souza, P., Mercer, R.·2005·ICASSP '86. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing

Abstract

A method for estimating the parameters of hidden Markov models of speech is described. Parameter values are chosen to maximize the mutual information between an acoustic observation sequence and the corresponding word sequence. Recognition results are presented comparing this method with maximum likelihood estimation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
