This is achieved by using posterior probabilities of different AFs (estimated by multilayer perceptrons) directly as observation features in Kullback-Leibler divergence based HMM (KL-HMM) system. On the TIMIT phoneme recognition task, the proposed framework yields a phoneme recognition accuracy of 72.4\% which is comparable to KL-HMM system using posterior probabilities of phonemes as features (72.7\%). Furthermore, a best performance of 73.5\% phoneme recognition accuracy is achieved by jointly modelling AF probabilities and phoneme probabilities as features. This shows the efficacy and flexibility of the proposed approach.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2010/Rasipuram_Idiap-RR-02-2011.pdf} }
