Eigenvoice modeling with sparse training data
Abstract
We derive an exact solution to the problem of maximum likelihood estimation of the supervector covariance matrix used in extended MAP (or EMAP) speaker adaptation and show how it can be regarded as a new method of eigenvoice estimation. Unlike other approaches to the problem of estimating eigenvoices in situations where speaker-dependent training is not feasible, our method enables us to estimate as many eigenvoices from a given training set as there are training speakers. In the limit as the amount of training data for each speaker tends to infinity, it is equivalent to cluster adaptive training.

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.
