We address the question of whether and how boosting and bagging can be used for speech recognition. In order to do this we compare two different boosting schemes one at the phoneme level and one at the utterance level with a phoneme-level bagging scheme. We control for many parameters and other choices such as the state inference scheme used. In an unbiased experiment we clearly show that the gain of boosting methods compared to a single hidden Markov model is in all cases only marginal while bagging significantly outperforms all other methods. We thus conclude that bagging methods which have so far been overlooked in favour of boosting should be examined more closely as a potentially useful ensemble learning technique for speech recognition. 1. Introduction This paper examines the application of ensemble methods to hidden Markov models HMMs for speech recognition. We consider two methods bagging and boosting. Both methods feature a fixed mixing distribution between the ensemble components which simplifies the inference though it does not completely trivialise it. This paper follows up on and consolidates previous results 1-3 that focused on boosting. The main .
