Hybrid of Neural Network (NN) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) has been popular in word recognition, taking advantage of NN discriminative property and HMM representational capability. However, NN does not guarantee good generalization due to Empirical Risk minimization (ERM) principle that it uses. In...
