For hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech recognition where the basic speech unit is smaller than the recognizer's output unit, the standard full Baum-Welch re-estimation procedure for the HMM training is very costly in computation. This is hecause it requires evaluation of the HMM output densities
It is shown that the parameters in a two-dimensional (depth-averaged) numerical tidal model can be estimated accurately by assimilation of data from tide gauges. The tidal model considered is a semilinearized one in which kinematical non-linearities are neglected but non-linear bottom friction is in
A mean-squared error comparison of smooth empirical Bayes and Bayes estimators for the Weibull and gamma scale parameters is studied based on a computer simulation. The smooth empirical Bayes estimators are determined as functions of up to 15 past estimates of the parameter of interest. Results indi
