<strong>DTW</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Single</strong> <strong>Word</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sentence</strong> Recognizers<br />

Make a Wish<br />

• We would like to work with speech units shorter than words<br />

-> each subword unit occurs often, training is easier, need<br />

less data<br />

• We want to recognize speech from any speaker, without prior training<br />

-> store "speaker-independent" references<br />

• We want to recognize continuous speech not only isolated words<br />

-> h<strong>and</strong>le coarticulation effects, h<strong>and</strong>le sequences of words<br />

• We would like to be able to recognize words that have not been trained<br />

-> train subword units <strong>and</strong> compose any word out of these<br />

(vocabulary independence)<br />

• We would prefer a sound mathematical foundation<br />

• Solution (particularly sucessful <strong>for</strong> ASR): Hidden Markov Models<br />
