Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: ,  propose variational Bayesian estimation and clustering for speech recognition (VBEC), which is based on the variational Bayesian (VB) approach. VBEC is a total Bayesian framework: all speech recognition procedures (acoustic modeling and speech classification) are based on VB posterior distribution, unlike the maximum likelihood (ML) approach based on ML parameters. The total Bayesian framework generates two major Bayesian advantages over the ML approach for the mitigation of over-training effects, as it can select an appropriate model structure without any data set size condition, and can classify categories robustly using a predictive posterior distribution. By using these advantages, VBEC: 1) allows the automatic construction of acoustic models along two separate dimensions, namely, clustering triphone hidden Markov model states and determining the number of Gaussians and 2) enables robust speech classification, based on Bayesian predictive classification using VB posterior distributions. The capabilities of the VBEC functions re confirmed in large vocabulary continuous speech recognition experiments for read and spontaneous speech tasks. The experiments confirmed that VBEC automatically constructed accurate acoustic models and robustly classified speech, i.e., totally mitigated the over-training effects with high word accuracies due to the VBEC functions.
