Hi, I am training a CI system. The timing boundaries are not correctly detected. It seems if I start with skretch the clustering does not work that well (my data size is very small). I see sphinx train has forced alignment option. But it use the trained model to do forced alignment. Now I guess my model is not that good, so I want to do forced alignment with some external model and provide the alignment file during training. How can I implement this? Does sphinx support this kind of training?
Thank you.

Sphinxtrain does not really support timing information as input for training. You'd better look on HTK if you want to experiment with such things.
