Support vector regression fusion scheme in phone duration modeling

A fusion scheme of phone duration models (PDMs) is presented in this work. Specifically, a support vector regression (SVR)-fusion model is fed with the predictions of a group of independent PDMs operating in parallel. The American-English KED TIMIT and the Greek WCL-1 databases are used for evaluating the PDMs and the fusion scheme. The fusion scheme contributes to the accuracy improvement over the best individual model, achieving a relative reduction of the mean absolute error (MAE) and the
