Abstract
A shared-distribution hidden Markov model (HMM) is presented for speaker-independent continuous speech recognition. The output distributions across different phonetic HMMs are shared with each other when they exhibit acoustic similarity. This sharing provides the freedom to use a larger number of Markov states for each phonetic model. Although an increase in the number of states will increase the total number of free parameters, with distribution sharing one can collapse redundant states while maintaining necessary ones. The shared-distribution model reduced the word error rate on the DARPA Resource Management task by 20% in comparison with the generalized-triphone model.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
