On including temporal constraints in Viterbi alignment for speech recognition in noise.

This paper addresses the problem of temporal constraints in the Viterbi algorithm in speaker-dependent and independent tasks. The results here presented suggest that in a speaker-dependent task the introduction of temporal constraints can lead to a high improvement with additive or convolutional noi...
