5.5.1 Cross-Word CD Phones: Triphone Generation
black fading line

To begin, we must generate the triphones. For cross-word context dependent models, only triphones are used to model speech since the models cross word boundaries. Once again, a list of all units seen in the transcription database will be generated. For an explanation of the purpose of this step, see Section 5.4.1. Go to the directory:
    $ISIP_TUTORIAL/sections/s05/s05_05_p01/
From this directory, run the following command:
    isip_recognize -param params_context.sof -list $ISIP_TUTORIAL/research/isip/databases/lists/identifiers_train.sof -verbose all
Expected Output:
Command: isip_recognize -param params_context.sof -list $ISIP_TUTORIAL/research/isip/databases/lists/identifiers_train.sof -verbose all

  retrieving annotation graph for identifier: ae_12a, level: word
  
  transcription: ONE TWO 
  
  processing file 2 (ae_1a): $ISIP_TUTORIAL/research/isip/databases/sof_8k/train/ae_1a.sof
  
  retrieving annotation graph for identifier: ae_1a, level: word
  
  transcription: ONE 
  
  processing file 3 (ae_2789385a): $ISIP_TUTORIAL/research/isip/databases/sof_8k/train/ae_2789385a.sof
  
  ....
   
The context list generated by the step above can now be used to generate the triphone model file. From the same directory, run the command:
    isip_recognize -param params_generate.sof -verbose all
Expected Output:
Command: isip_recognize -param params_generate.sof -verbose all

The context independent phone models generated and trained in Section 5.3 are used to build the triphone acoustic model. For a more in-depth explanation of triphone generation, see Section 5.4.1.
