Full context labels

Then we assemble the information into full context labels

Because DNN synthesis evolved from HMM synthesis, it is common to use HTS format label files to represent context-dependent phonemes.

After dumpfeats we need to manipulate the format to make HTS format label files (which are an extended version of HTK labels). The scripts/utts_to_mlfs.sh script is provided for running dumpfeats and then performing all the subsequent steps. Take a few moments to understand what it is doing, then run it.

The script makes both monophone and full-context label files. We’ll use the monophone labels for doing forced alignment, and after that we will transfer the timestamps over to the full-context labels.

Can you explain why we cannot simply use the full-context labels for forced alignment?
