Cascaded-Gaussian Mixture Regression (C-GMR)¶

What is C-GMR?¶

Cascaded Gaussian Mixture Regression or C-GMR is a general framework for adapting a GMR (Gaussian Mixture Regression) trained on a large dataset of input-output joint observations, using a limited set of input-only observations. It was originaly developed in the context of speech processing for adapting an acoustic-articulatory inversion GMM trained on a reference speaker, to a new speaker, given a small amount of audio-only observations. In particular, C-GMR framework includes the "Integrated C-GMR" model (IC-GMR) and the Joint-GMR which combine 2 consecutive GMR in a single probabilistic model. For these models, we derived both the exact EM-based training algorithm and inference equation.
