Decide when Kaldi's lattice-free MMI chain TDNN pipeline is worth the complexity over a traditional GMM-HMM baseline for custom speech recognition.
Learn how to compile Kaldi with CUDA, prepare LibriSpeech data, run a TDNN training script, and verify GPU usage while understanding memory and version trade‑offs.
A decision guide for new Kaldi projects: when a GMM-HMM baseline is enough, when to go straight to a chain TDNN recipe, and how to validate the choice with a dev-set WER comparison.
