thank you for your reply!but I still have the question why doing further untie, re-estimate, recluster and herest
HMMs can get the better re-estimation accuracy? Have the inevitable reasons in theory? or can you explain in theory simply? > Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 09:31:50 +0800 > From: yangwang84@xxxxxxxxx > Subject: [hts-users:03326] Re: [hts-users:03323] Questions of the untied stage in the sd training.pl? > To: hts-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Hi, ArthurLeo, > > You asked about "{cluster, herest}, {untie, herest}, {recluster, > herest}".
