| Abstract(in English) | In speaker adaption based on the MLLR framework, this paper proposes a SVD-based liner regression which can be applied to smaller regression classes and hence adapt HMMs to spectral dependent speaker differences. In this method, each row vector of a regression matrix is estimated by minimizing the norm under an effective rank based on a singular value decomposition(SVD) of the normal equation. This regressin transformation can be applied to any size of regression classes without ill-conditiones. This constrained MLLR is combined with a tree-based tying technique. Large vocabulary recognition tests show that the proposed method achieves 1% higher word accuracy than the conventional MLLR. |
