Context-dependent HMM is commonly used in speech recognition. The model can be realized by two ways: context clustering or tied-mixuture. In speech recognition, the former is reported to be more efficient. However, there is some difficulty in applying context clustering to handwritten word recognition, since the distribution of each character is typically a mixture of some different distributions, such as block-printed, cursive, etc. To deal with this problem, a method for concurrent optimization of context clustering and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is proposed in this paper. Optimization of context clustering by EM algorithm is described first, followed by its expansion to concurrent optimization of context clustering and GMM. The recognition rate of the proposed method is higher than the conventional one which exploits tied-mixture with equivalent computational cost. Experimental results showed 24.2% error reduction on CEDAR database, compared with the conventional tied-mixture based method. |
