Abstract

This paper proposes a new multiobjective optimization method for discriminative training of hidden Markov models (HMMs) used as the recognizer for automatic lipreading. While the conventional Baum-Welch algorithm for training HMMs aims at maximizing the probability of the data of a class from the corresponding HMM, we define a new training criterion composed of two minimization objectives and develop a global optimization method of the criterion based on simulated annealing. The result of a speaker-dependent recognition experiment shows that the proposed method improves performance by the relative error reduction rate of about 8% in comparison to the Baum-Welch algorithm.
