- CONNECTIONIST PROBABILITY ESTIMTAION IN HMM SPEECH RECOGNITION
- Steve Renals and Nelson Morgan
- International Computer Science Institute
- Technical Report TR-92-081
-
- This report is concerned with integrating connectionist networks into
- a hidden Markov model (HMM) speech recognition system, This is
- achieved through a statistical understanding of connectionist networks
- as probability estimators, first elucidated by Herve Bourlard. We
- review the basis of HMM speech recognition, and point out the possible
- benefits of incorporating connectionist networks. We discuss some
- issues necessary to the construction of a connectionist HMM
- recognition system, and describe the performance of such a system,
- including evaluations on the DARPA database, in collaboration with
- Mike Cohen and Horacio Franco of SRI International. In conclusion, we
- show that a connectionist component improves a state of the art HMM
- system.
