  • Abstract
    A new Gaussian selection (GS) method is presented for fast decoding in phonetic tied-mixture (PTM) hidden Markov models (HMMs). For efficient likelihood computation, a constraint is imposed on the context-dependent weights as well as the number of Gaussians. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over conventional GS methods.
