Abstract
On improved transformation method uses an initial set of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) trained on a large amount of speech recorded in a low noise environment R to provide rich information on co-articulation and speaker variation and a smaller database in a more noisy target environment T. A set H of HMMs is trained with data provided in the low noise environment R and the utterances in the noisy environment T are transcribed phonetically using set H of HMMs. The transcribed segments are grouped into a set of Classes C. For each subclass c of Classes C, the transformation Φ c is found to maximize likelihood utterances in T, given H. The HMMs are transformed and steps repeated until likelihood stabilizes.
