Rabiner: hidden Markov models for speech recognition

What changed

Integrated HMM inference, decoding, learning and practical speech implementation into a detailed engineering tutorial.

Scientific scope

The record is Rabiner's sole-author 1989 Proceedings of the IEEE tutorial. It did not originate hidden Markov models, the Baum-Welch algorithm or every speech-recognition application, and its examples do not establish modern end-to-end system performance.
