The standard approach for learning Markov Models with Hidden State uses the Expectation-Maximization framework. While this approach had a significant impact on several practical ap...
We introduce in this paper a generalization of the widely used hidden Markov models (HMM's), which we name "structural hidden Markov models" (SHMM). Our approach is ...
The use of HMM (Hidden Markov Models) for speech recognition has been successful for various applications in the past decades. However, the use of continuous HMM (CHMM) for melody...
Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is the dominant technology in speech recognition. The problem of optimizing model parameters is of great interest to the researchers in this area. The Ba...
This paper presents a framework for maximum a posteriori (MAP) speaker adaptation of state duration distributions in hidden Markov models (HMM). Four key issues of MAP estimation, ...
