ABSTRACT:
Markov model speech pattern templates are formed for speech analysis systems by analyzing identified speech patterns to generate frame sequences of acoustic feature signals representative thereof. The speech pattern template is produced by iteratively generating succeeding Markov model signal sets starting with an initial Markov model signal set. Each iteration includes forming a set of signals representative of the current iteration Markov model of the identified speech pattern responsive to said frame sequences of acoustic feature signals and one of the previous Markov model signal sets and comparing the current iteration Markov model signal set with said previous Markov model signal set to generate a signal corresponding to the similarity therebetween. The iterations are terminated when said similarity signal is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value and the last formed Markov model signal set is selected as a reference template for said identified speech pattern. The state transition model has increased accuracy by grouping the feature signals into related clusters corresponding to states of the previous state transitional model, whereby with further grouping of the feature signals the continuous probability density function acquires components representing a mixture of different continuous probability density functions.
