A structural Bayes approach to speaker adaptation.

Maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation has been successfully applied to speaker adaptation in speech recognition systems using hidden Markov models. When the amount of data is sufficiently large, MAP estimation yields recognition performance as good as that obtained using maximum-likelihood (ML) esti...
