MKGSHMM(1)

NAME
mkgshmm - convert monophone HMM to GS HMM for Julius

SYNOPSIS
mkgshmm monophone_hmmdefs > outputfile

DESCRIPTION
mkgshmm converts monophone HMM definition file (hmmdefs) in HTK format to 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.

For more details, please consult related documents and papers

EXAMPLE

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

(2) Convert the monophone model using mkgshmm.

    % mkgshmm monophone > gshmmfile

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

    % julius -C foo.jconf -gshmm gshmmfile
