Sorry, I am not familiar with UBM.  You might try asking the HTK mailing list.

Hi ken,

In fact the problem of UBM is very simple. We have just to model all speakers with one set of GMM (one state of HMM). So my question is : I have one wav file and I'd like to train it. First, I had extract MFCC features then I used HCompV to initialize my model then I'm trying to obtain my HMM model by HERest as :

HERest -C config/config_train_mfcc -I label/label_EE4H_noSP.mlf -t 250.0 150.0 1000.0 -S list/listTrainFulPath.scp -H hmmsTrained/hmm0/macros -H hmmsTrained/hmm0/models -M hmmsTrained/hmm1 lib/wordList_noSP

where "listTrainFulPath.scp" contain "C:\htk-3.3\bd/train_f_1_1.mfcc"

my problem is what should I write in "label_EE4H_noSP.mlf" and "lib/wordList_noSP".

Can you help me in this case. Thanks

re: abel_EE4H_noSP.mlf - something analogous to: words.mlf?

re: lib/wordList_noSP - something analogous to: monophones0?
