Detailed Description

Calculate probability of a set of Gaussian densities by Gaussian pruning: safe algorithm.

gprune_safe() is one of the functions to compute output probability of a set of Gaussian densities. This function does safe pruning, trying to compute only the best ones for faster computation. If a tied-mixture HMM model with GPRUNE_DEFAULT_SAFE defined in Julius, or explicitly specified by "-gprune safe" option, this function will be used.

The safe pruning is the most safe method that can find the exact N-best Gaussians, but the efficiency is smaller.

gprune_safe() will be used by calling outprob_init() to set its pointer to the global variable compute_gaussset. Then it will be called from calc_tied_mix() or calc_mix().

void gprune_safe	(	HTK_HMM_Dens **	g,
		int	gnum,
		int *	last_id
	)

Compute a set of Gaussians with safe pruning.

If the N-best mixtures in the previous frame is specified in last_id, They are first computed to set the initial threshold. After that, the rest of the Gaussians will be computed with the thresholds to drop unpromising Gaussians from computation at early stage of likelihood computation. If the computation of a Gaussian reached to the end, the threshold will be updated to always hold the likelihood of current N-best score.

The calculated scores will be stored to OP_calced_score, with its corresponding mixture id to OP_calced_id. These are done by calling cache_push(). The number of calculated mixtures is also stored in OP_calced_num.

This can be called from calc_tied_mix() or calc_mix().

Parameters:

	g	[in] set of Gaussian densities to compute the output probability
	gnum	[in] length of above
	last_id	[in] ID list of N-best mixture in previous input frame, or NULL if not exist
