Discovering the linguistic structure of a language solely from spoken input asks for two steps: phonetic and lexical discovery. The first is concerned with identifying the categorical subword unit inventory and relating it to the underlying acoustics, while the second aims at discovering words as repeated patterns of subword units. The hierarchical approach presented here accounts for classification errors in the first stage by modelling the pronunciation of a word in terms of subword units probabilistically: a hidden Markov model with discrete emission probabilities, emitting the observed subword unit sequences. We describe how the system can be learned in a completely unsupervised fashion from spoken input. To improve the initialization of the training of the word pronunciations, the output of a dynamic time warping based acoustic pattern discovery system is used, as it is able to discover similar temporal sequences in the input data. This improved initialization, using only weak supervision, has led to a 40% reduction in word error rate on a digit recognition task.
