  • Abstract
    The use of enhanced time duration constraints for subword (phoneme) recognition in continuous speech is reported. Here the time duration constraints are modelled by a Gaussian probability distribution in the conventional Baum-Welch learning algorithm and are statistically enhanced to obtain the most probable path in the Viterbi decoding process. Experimental results to validate this approach are included.
