NOISE SPEED-UPS IN HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS WITH APPLICATIONS TO SPEECH RECOGNITION

摘要

A learning computer system may estimate unknown parameters and states of a stochastic or uncertain system having a probability structure. The system may include a data processing system that may include a hardware processor that has a configuration that: receives data; generates random, chaotic, fuzzy, or other numerical perturbations of the data, one or more of the states, or the probability structure; estimates observed and hidden states of the stochastic or uncertain system using the data, the generated perturbations, previous states of the stochastic or uncertain system, or estimated states of the stochastic or uncertain system; and causes perturbations or independent noise to be injected into the data, the states, or the stochastic or uncertain system so as to speed up training or learning of the probability structure and of the system parameters or the states.
