In this paper we propose discriminative training of hierarchical acoustic models for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition tasks. After presenting our hierarchical modeli...
We propose a new optimization algorithm called Generalized Baum Welch (GBW) algorithm for discriminative training on hidden Markov model (HMM). GBW is based on Lagrange relaxation...
In this paper we investigate the combination of complementary acoustic feature streams in large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR). We have explored the use of acoust...
Current hidden Markov acoustic modeling for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) relies on the availability of abundant labeled transcriptions. Given that speech...
Parallel scalability allows an application to efficiently utilize an increasing number of processing elements. In this paper we explore a design space for parallel scalability for...
