  The CALLHOME Spanish Lexicon consists of 45,582 words and contains
  separate information fields with phonological, morphological and
  frequency information for each word.

  Lexicon : LDC96L16


Each subdirectory of this directory contains the
scripts for a sequence of experiments.

  s5: This recipe is based on the WSJ s5 recipe. It works with the 
      the transcripts (available along with the script in LDC97T19). In addition, 
      it uses a phonetic lexicon generated using the rules based LDC lexicon. 
      The recipe follows the Triphone+SGMM+SAT+fMLLR+SGMM+DNN pipeline. It uses data
      partitions as specified by LDC in the Callhome corpus description. For Fisher
      custom partitions are available (check the run.sh file for the location 
      of the split file : This can be changed).
