abstract = {This paper introduces add-on tools aligned with the Hidden-Markov-
Model Toolkit (HTK) to use Support Vector Machines (SVM) in speech recognition.
The resulting method and tool is named HSVM: Hidden-Markov-Model
Toolkit using Support Vector Machines. Because SVMs have proven their generalization
performance compared to the common maximum likelihood or MAP
approach, a speech recognizer can profit from the use of SVMs for classifying the
acoustic features. Given segmented speech data provided by a underlying HMM,
the presented tools enable to post-classify acoustic features based on N-best-lists
or recognition lattices. HSVM transforms the SVM predictions to probabilities and
feeds them back into the recognition process in a offline fashion. Improvements
using HSVM are presented for a phoneme classification on the TIMIT corpus as
well as Wallstreet Journal Cambridge corpus.},
