Title: HMM State Clustering based on Efficient Cross-Validation
Authors: Takahiro Shinozaki, University of Washington, United States
Abstract: Decision tree state clustering is explored using a cross validation likelihood criterion. Cross-validation likelihood is more reliable than conventional likelihood and can be efficiently computed using sufficient statistics. It results in a better tying structure and provides a termination criterion that does not rely on empirical thresholds. Large vocabulary recognition experiments on conversational telephone speech show that, for large numbers of tied states, the cross-validation method gives more robust results.
