The VQ HMM uses a VQ distortion measure at each state instead of a discrete output probability used by a discrete HMM. The VQ HMM is described, and its speech recognition performance is compared with the conventional HMMs through the experiments on speaker independent Chinese spoken digit recognition. The comparisons confirm that the new method over performed traditional HMMs.展开更多
文摘In this paper, a new speech recognition method was proposed, which integrated a VQ distortion measure and a discrete HMM. The VQ HMM uses a VQ distortion measure at each state instead of a discrete output probability used by a discrete HMM. The VQ HMM is described, and its speech recognition performance is compared with the conventional HMMs through the experiments on speaker independent Chinese spoken digit recognition. The comparisons confirm that the new method over performed traditional HMMs.
