On the Use of a Frame-Correlated HMM for Speech Recognition

Frame-Correlated HMM을 이용한 음성 인식

We propose a novel method to incorporate temporal correlations into a speech recognition system based on the conventional hidden Markov model. With the proposed method using the extended logarithmic pool, we approximate a joint conditional PD by separate conditional PD's associated with respective components of conditions. We provide a constrained optimization algorithm with which we can find the optimal value for the pooling weights. The results in the experiments of speaker-independent continuous speech recognition with frame correlations show error reduction by 13.7% with the proposed methods as compared to that without frame correlations.
