    Hello friends.
    I´m trying -tau parameter on adaptation, (ALPHA 5 VER)
    Does it work ?
    I´m using big french model adapted for me (ACCURACY 78%, for standard 167 unadapted sentences)

    I see on forum to test param >100 ??!!

    What value to start ? 120% ?

    How to test it impact ? accuracy ? speed ?

    Could anyone help me
    thanks guys
    Vincent

      You can test adaptation on a test set as described in testing part of the tutorial

      http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/tutorialadapt#testing_the_adaptation

        You can try values from 10 to 200

    I tried values 60, 100, 130 and 160.
    No difference on accuracy
    anything like if tau parameter didn´t work
    can anyone confirm ?

      Tau works only if bayesmean is no.

    THANKS NICKOLAY
    So -bayesmean no
    -tau tested with different values (5, 30, 90,120,160)
    When -fixedtau no, i always have same accuracy after adapt
    with -fixedtau yes, accuracy value change
    But I never have better than with -BAYESMEAN YES (standard map_adapt, without variances)
    Is it normal ?
    I was thinking that -tau usage could improve accuracy. not the case
    Appreciate your help friends

      Hi

      Well, you probably won't get too much from simple MAP. If you have enough data it's probably better to retrain or even train new DNN acoustic models with Kaldi. French voxforge is quite big already actually to train a new model.
