Conclusions
·10x CHMM system available (thanks to P-!!!)
·With lextree implementation, only about 1-2% of total HMMs active per frame
·Order of magnitude fewer compared to flat lexicon search
·Lextree replication improves WER noticeably
·Absolute pruning parameters improve worst-case behavior significantly, without penalizing accuracy
·When active search space grows beyond some threshold, no hope of correct recognition anyway
