Boosted MMI for model and feature-space discriminative training

D Povey, D Kanevsky, B Kingsbury… - … , Speech and Signal …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a modified form of the maximum mutual information (MMI) objective function
which gives improved results for discriminative training. The modification consists of …

Discriminative learning in sequential pattern recognition

X He, L Deng, W Chou - IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this article, we studied the objective functions of MMI, MCE, and MPE/MWE for
discriminative learning in sequential pattern recognition. We presented an approach that …

HMMs and related speech recognition technologies

S Young - Springer handbook of speech processing, 2008 - Springer
Almost all present-day continuous speech recognition (CSR) systems are based on hidden
Markov models (HMMs). Although the fundamentals of HMM-based CSR have been …

MPE-based discriminative linear transforms for speaker adaptation

L Wang, PC Woodland - Computer Speech & Language, 2008 - Elsevier
In this paper, the use of discriminative linear transforms (DLT) is investigated to construct
speaker adaptive speech recognition systems, where a discriminative criterion rather than …
