Abstract
This paper concerns continuous density HMM topology optimization. There have been several researches for HMM topology optimization. BIC (Bayesian Information Criterion) is one of the well known optimization criteria, which assumes statistically well behaved homogeneous model parameters. HMMs, however, are composed of several different kind of parameters to accommodate complex topology, thus BIC's assumption does not hold true for HMMs. Even though BIC reduced the total number of parameters of HMMs, it could not improve the recognition rates. In this paper, we proposed two new model selection criteria, HBIC (HMM-oriented BIC) and BIC_Anti. The former is proposed to improve BIC by estimating model priors separately. The latter is to combine BIC and anti-likelihood to accelerate discrimination power of HMMs. We performed some comparative research on couple of model selection criteria for online handwriting data recognition. We got better recognition results with fewer number of parameters.
