A Study on Word Recognition using sub-model based Hidden Markov Model

HMM 부모델을 이용한 단어 인식에 관한 연구

In this paper the word recognition using sub-model based Hidden Markov Model was studied. Phoneme models were composed of 61 phonemes in therms of Korean language pronunciation characteristic. Using this, word model was maded by serial concatenation. But, in case of this phoneme concatenation, the second and the third phoneme of syllable are overlapped in distribution at the same time. So considering this, the method that combines the second and the third phoneme to one model was proposed. And to prevent the increase in number of model, similar phonemes were combined to one, and finially, 57 models were created. In experiment proper model structure of sub-model was searched for, and recognition results were compared. So similar recognition results were maded, and overall recognition rates were increased in case of using parameter tying method.
