Abstract

See full text

Speaker adaptation which enables a person to use a Hidden Markov model type recognizer previously trained by another person or persons. During initial training, parameters of Markov models are calculated iteratively by, for example, using the Forward-Backward algorithm. Adapting the recognizer to a new speaker involves (a) storing and utilizing intermediate results or probabilistic frequencies of a last iteration of training parameters, and (b) calculating new parameters by computing a weighted sum of the probabilistic frequencies stored during training and frequencies obtained from adaptation data derived from known utterances of words made by the new speaker.
