Abstract
In this correspondence, a segmental probability model (SPM) is proposed for fast and accurate recognition of the highly confusing isolated Mandarin base-syllables by deleting the state transition probabilities of continuous density hidden Markov models (CHMM), abandoning the dynamic programming process, letting the states equally segment the base-syllables deterministically, and using several special approaches to improve the accuracy and speed. This is achieved by considering the special characteristics of the target vocabulary.
