Research on Polynomial-Fitting Speech-Trajectory Model in Chinese Continuous Speech Recognition
Although as the most popular model for speech recognition
HMM takes no account of the dynamics of the speech trajectory
since it assumes the outputs of a state to be independent and identically distributed.In this paper
based on a more flexible statistical framework for speech description-the generalized DDBHMM
a particular polynomial-fitting speech-trajectory model is proposed with new algorithms for training and recognition.It describes the real characteristics of speech more reasonably.With the effective path-pruning algorithm additionally proposed
it becomes a practicable model.Experiments on Chinese large-vocabulary speaker-independent continuous speech recognition showed that with this path-pruned polynomial-fitting speech-trajectory model
the recognition performance is improved distinctively at relatively low computational cost.
