Large Margin Training of Hidden Markov Models in Speech Recognition.

In particular, I will make first an introduction to automatic speech recognition followed by some popular approaches to train such systems (ML, MMIE ). Next I will highlight the main weaknesses of them and introduce some of the alternative training frameworks. Mainly I will focus on Large Margin Training applied to HMMs. Finally, I will give a description of the state of the art system used to transcribe broadcast news in three languages (English, Arabic and Mandarin) developed here at University of Cambridge.
