HMM speech recognition with reduced training

One of the problems faced in automatic speech recognition is the amount of training required to adapt the machine to the speaker way of pronunciation. To a certain extent, the accuracy of correct recognition is proportional to the amount of training and adaptation carried out. This is especially tru...
