ABSTRACT:
A speech signal is decoded by determining a production-related value for a current state based on an optimal production-related value at the end of a preceding state, the optimal production-related value being selected from a set of continuous values. The production-related value is used to determine a likelihood of a phone being represented by a set of observation vectors that are aligned with a path between the preceding state and the current state. The likelihood of the phone is combined with a score from the preceding state to determine a score for the current state, the score from the preceding state being associated with a discrete class of production-related values wherein the class matches the class of the optimal production-related value.
