Abstract
Acoustic models based on Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) typically use short span acoustic feature inputs. This does not capture long-term temporal information from speech owing to the conditional independence assumption of hidden Markov models. In this paper, we present an implicit approach that approximates the joint distribution of long span features by product of actorized models, in contrast to deep neural networks (DNNs) that model feature correlations directly. The approach is applicable to a broad range of acoustic models. We present experiments using GMM and probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) based models on Switchboard, observing consistent word error rate reductions.
