Is -mllrmat similar to mllr_transform

Question

I am trying to adapt my acoustic models for sphinx4 using MAP and MLLR. I do understand that I have to use the mllr_solve binary and the bw to do one iteration.

I'd like to know if using bw's -mllrmat option is equivalent to using the mllr_transform tool to apply the baseline means before the bw call. In other words: Can I skip the mllr_transform step if I am using the -mllrmat option in bw?

Answer 1

Yes, effect would be the same.
