Acoustic Model
The acoustic model was created by Brigitte Bigi from the HMM
prototypes extracted from other languages (mainly French and Spanish).
The model was then trained with 3 minutes of manually time-aligned data
and 26 minutes of manually phonetized data.
UBPA at 40ms of the initial model based on prototypes is 89.83% and
UBPA of the final model is 89.96%.
The model was created using a Python script available in the SPPAS package:
acmtrain.py.
