MKGSHMM(1)

NAME

    mkgshmm
   - convert monophone HMM to GS HMM for Julius

SYNOPSIS

mkgshmm {monophone_hmmdefs}
  >
   {outputfile}

DESCRIPTION

mkgshmm converts monophone HMM definition file in HTK format into a special format for Gaussian Mixture Selection (GMS) in Julius.

GMS is an algorithm to reduce the amount of acoustic computation with triphone HMM, by pre-selection of promising gaussian mixtures using likelihoods of corresponding monophone mixtures.

EXAMPLES

(1) Prepare a monophone model which was trained by the same corpus as target triphone model.

(2) Convert the monophone model using mkgshmm.

(3) Specify the output file in Julius with option "-gshmm"
