NAME
           mkgshmm
          - convert monophone HMM to GS HMM for Julius

SYNOPSIS
       mkgshmm {monophone_hmmdefs}
                 >
                  {outputfile}

DESCRIPTION
       mkgshmm converts monophone HMM definition file in HTK format into a
       special format for Gaussian Mixture Selection (GMS) in Julius.

       GMS is an algorithm to reduce the amount of acoustic computation with
       triphone HMM, by pre-selection of promising gaussian mixtures using
       likelihoods of corresponding monophone mixtures.

EXAMPLES
       (1) Prepare a monophone model which was trained by the same corpus as
       target triphone model.

       (2) Convert the monophone model using mkgshmm.
       (3) Specify the output file in Julius with option "-gshmm"
