Hi all,

I have a small comment on the new functions of HTS-2.1RC1.

As Heiga wrote in previous mail, HTS-2.1RC1 starts to support new  
adaptation
algorithm called CSMAPLR adaptation. It actually supports not only the
CSMAPLR adaptation but also SMAPLR adaptation.

When you use the SMAPLR adaptation, please use the following variables
in your configuration file for HERest as well as other normal  
essential variables:

ADAPTKIND    = TREE
DURADAPTKIND = TREE
TRANSKIND    = MLLRMEAN
USEBIAS      = TRUE
DURTRANSKIND = MLLRMEAN
DURUSEBIAS   = TRUE
USESMAP      = TRUE
MLLRDIAGCOV  = FALSE
SMAPSIGMA    = 1.0

If you want to use the CSMAPLR adaptation, please use the following  
variables.

ADAPTKIND    = TREE
DURADAPTKIND = TREE
TRANSKIND    = CMLLR
USEBIAS      = TRUE
DURTRANSKIND = CMLLR
DURUSEBIAS   = TRUE
USESMAP      = TRUE
SMAPSIGMA    = 1.0

Please send bag reports and any problems to us. The feedbacks from you
make the release of final HTS 2.1 faster.

Thanks,
Dr. Junichi Yamagishi
