11、sm (Bayesian Inference),Step 1: Write all observables as a joint probability density; e.g., Pr (A,B,C) Step 2: Decompose density using probability theory and Bayes theorem until components are measurable; e.g., Pr (A,B,C) = Pr (B | A,C) Pr (C | A) Pr (A) Step 3: Model each component in product from

12、a database or experimental data set Step 4: Make predictions or estimates using computed model of Pr(A,B,C),8,Probabilities in Speech Recognition,Successful speech recognizers select (predict) an output word sequence from an input waveform by maximizing the joint likelihood Pr (WAVE, WORDS) This is
