✦ Synopsis

A Markov-model acoustic-phonetic component is constructed for the synthesis of standard acoustic representations of connected speech. The primary building blocks are phones with Markov models structured so that phone length, spectral power and fundamental frequency are parametrically controlled. The model generates acoustic parameter outputs at to-ms time steps. The acoustic-phonetic component permits matching between actual acoustic data and internally modeled acoustic data, and can be employed in various ways-to label speech automatically. as a phone decorder to obtain estimated phone strings, and in speech recognizers which match at the acoustic level.

In this work, buried Markov models (BMM) are introduced. In a BMM, a Markov chain state at time t determines the conditional independence patterns that exist between random variables lying within a local time window surrounding t. This model is motivated by and can be fully described by ''graphical
