Scheme and model adaptation in the case of pattern recognition is based on taylor expansion

摘要

A model adaptation scheme in the pattern recognition, which is capable of realizing a fast, real time model adaptation and improving the recognition performance. This model adaptation scheme determines a change in a parameter expressing a condition of pattern recognition and probabilistic model training between an initial condition at a time of acquiring training data used in obtaining a model parameter of each probabilistic model and a current condition at a time of actual recognition. Then, the probabilistic models are adapted by obtaining a model parameter after a condition change by updating a model parameter before a condition change according to the determined change, when the initial condition and the current condition are mismatching. The adaptation processing uses a Taylor expansion expressing a change in the model parameter in terms of a change in the parameter expressing the condition.
