Abstract

In this paper, we present an explicit criterion for deciding whether to divide the HMM-based phone model into more precise(for example, context dependent) models, or not. We also discuss the cases when linear interpolations of these models are used, and present an explicit solution of the interpolation weight λ. These criteria are obtained by evaluating the estimation errors of the distributions of these models. We show that the estimation errors should be evaluated by the projected covariance matrices of the estimation errors of the logarithm of the probabilities.
