NAME

           mkgshmm
          - convert monophone HMM to GS HMM for Julius

SYNOPSIS

       mkgshmm {monophone_hmmdefs}
                 >
                  {outputfile}

DESCRIPTION

       mkgshmm converts monophone HMM definition file in HTK format into a special format for
       Gaussian Mixture Selection (GMS) in Julius.

       GMS is an algorithm to reduce the amount of acoustic computation with triphone HMM, by
       pre-selection of promising gaussian mixtures using likelihoods of corresponding monophone
       mixtures.

EXAMPLES

       (1) Prepare a monophone model which was trained by the same corpus as target triphone
       model.

       (2) Convert the monophone model using mkgshmm.
       (3) Specify the output file in Julius with option "-gshmm"
