Each feature vector is considered to be a sequence and is supposed to be modeled by yet another HMM. Therefore, we call this approach `HMM2'. There is a variety of possible topologies of such HMM2 systems, e.g. incorporating trellis or ergodic HMM structures. Preliminary HMM2 speech recognition experiments on cepstral and spectral features yielded worse results than state-of-the-art systems. However, we believe that HMM2 systems have a lot of potential advantages and are therefore worth investigating further.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2000/rr00-30.pdf}, postscript = {ftp://ftp.idiap.ch/pub/reports/2000/rr00-30.ps.gz}, ipdinar={2000}, ipdmembership={speech}, language={English}, }
