Abstract:

 Recognition rate of speech model will increase with the increase in the number of GMM components, the size of model will increase as well, when making the GMM
recognition training for HMM speech model, and it causes model bloated. However, it is unfit for mobile devices while using speech model for recognition to keep greater than
hundreds of megabytes in mobile. For this problem, a method for compress speech model based on BIC is presented. This method tries to keep recognition rate of speech model in
appropriate to the size of model. Experiments demonstrate that it’s applicable and available to achieve the final speech model specified size even ensure recognition rate of
speech model as much as possible.

Key words:  speech recognition, model compress, BIC (bayesian information criterion)
