摘要:
For improving the efficiency of a speech recognition system based on a vocabulary of statistical word models, initially coarse word preselections are made for utterances, and are marked in a training session to indicate whether the selections were correct or wrong. Furthermore, each utterance is matched against each word preselected for it to obtain a probability measure for that combination as in a usual reccgnition process. Based on this knowledge of the correct or erroneous result of the coarse selection plus the probability measure, a discriminant analysis is made to determine, for the whole population of word models, how each phone in each word model should be weighted so that an optimum discrimination between similar words is achieved. The weighting coefficients thus obtained are stored with the word models and are later used, during actual speech recognition, to weight the probabilistic contribution of each phone for the final word selection.

0 A method and a system are disclosed for normalizing a speech signal prior to a speech recognition process (29). In a preparatory procedure, a sample interval of speech is separated (15) into thirty-one frequency bands (17) and an amplitude histogram is generated (19) for each band. From these histograms, the 5% percentile amplitude value P(05) and the 95% percentile amplitude value P(95) are extracted (21) for each band and these values are stored (23) for later reference. For actual normalization, the current speech signal is also divided (15) into the same frequency band as in the preparatory procedure, and consecutive input amplitude values A(in) of each frequency band are modified (27), using (25) the percentile values of the respective band, to obtain output values according to

A method for plating a metal from an electroless plating bath onto a substrate is provided which includes providing a source of an electroless plating bath at a non-plating temperature in a master mixing tank (1); transferring at least a portion of the plating bath to at least one plating cell (8); changing the bath temperature to a plating temperature; and contacting the substrate to be plated with the bath at a plating temperature.
