IV.E Optimization criterion

  1. What is the MMI alternative to maximum likelihood training?
    Maximum mutual information: design all word models together to maximize their discrimination power, i.e. each model’s ability to distinguish sequences from its own class from those of competing models, rather than fitting each model separately.
