This paper describes recent work on the HTK large vocabulary speech recognition system. The system uses tied-state cross-word context- dependent mixture Gaussian HMMs and a dynamic network decoder that can operate in a single pass. In the last year the decoder has been extended to produce word lattices to allow flexible and efficient system development, as well as multi-pass operation for use with computationally expensive acoustic and/or language models. The system vocabulary can now be up to 65k words, the final acoustic models have been extended to be sensitive to more acoustic context (quinphones), a 4-gram language model has been used and unsupervised incremental speaker adaptation incorporated. The resulting system gave the lowest error rates on both the H1-P0 and H1-C1 hub tasks in the November 1994 ARPA CSR evaluation.

If you have difficulty viewing files that end '.gz', which are gzip compressed, then you may be able to find tools to uncompress them at the gzip web site.

If you have difficulty viewing files that are in PostScript, (ending '.ps' or '.ps.gz'), then you may be able to find tools to view them at the gsview web site.

We have attempted to provide automatically generated PDF copies of documents for which only PostScript versions have previously been available. These are clearly marked in the database - due to the nature of the automatic conversion process, they are likely to be badly aliased when viewed at default resolution on screen by acroread.
