Are delta and double delta features needed when classifying with LSTM

I understand that the combination of MFCCs, deltas and double deltas is a good feature to be used with HMMs for keyword detection problems. HMMs are limited by Markov Property and this limitation is ...

why the MFCC is gender indenpend and used for isolated word recognition

I think female and male have total different MFCC feature for same word such as "one", but why the MFCC could be used for isolated word recognition which use the same HMM model for the same word ...

What does the output of Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) represents in a HMM-GMM based speech recognition application?

Till now I know that- first the speech is converted frames and feature vectors are calculated for each frame using MFCC. And while training the Acoustic model- HMM model is generate for each phoneme ...

HMM-based speech recognition/synthesis: state representation of monophones and triphones

In literature, a monophone is represented with 3 states. When doing context dependent clustering, 3 states are used to represent a triphone. Why is the triphone represented with 3 states and not 5? ...

Effect of redundant training data in HMM-based speech recognizer/synthesizer?

How are redundant training data handled during the training stage? For example, assume we have one observation for phone $\theta$ in the training set. Then the training (for a monophone) is done ...

Why are the observation features of an HMM-based recognition/synthesis system modeled by a Gaussian distribution?

Why are the observation features (namely MFCCs) of an HMM-based recognition/synthesis system modeled by a Gaussian distribution? Even the state duration is modeled by a Gaussian in this paper: K. ...
