Energy thresholding sets a lower limit on the energy in each frequency channel to suppress spurious distortion accumulation caused by random noise. This led to an improvement in error rate by 15%. Spectrum normalization was used to compensate for across-speaker variations, resulting in an additional improvement by 20%. The acoustic resolution was increased up to 32 component densities per mixture. Each doubling of the number of component densities yielded a reduction in error rate by roughly 20%. Linear discriminant analysis was used for improved feature selection. A single class-independent transformation matrix was applied to a large input vector consisting of several adjacent frames, resulting in an improvement by 20% for high acoustic resolution. The final string error rate was 0.84%.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Haeb-Umbach_Geller_Ney_1993, title={Improvements in Connected Digit Recognition Using Linear Discriminant Analysis and Mixture Densities}, booktitle={ICASSP, Minneapolis}, author={Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold and Geller, Dieter and Ney, Hermann}, year={1993} }","ama":"Haeb-Umbach R, Geller D, Ney H.
