| 1. A system for generating a block diagonal matrix from a lattice, the system comprising:
(1) a processor;
(2) a module configured to control the processor to compute posterior probability of all transitions T in a graph, if a lattice
having transitions T is weighted;
(3) a module configured to control the processor to extract a pivot baseline path from the lattice; and
(4) a module configured to control the processor to align the transitions T in the lattice with the transitions in the pivot
baseline path.
