name: init_triphones
synopsis: init_triphones [options] [arguments]

description:  
this utility is used to initialize  triphone models from their context 
independent counterparts (monophones). the utility supports simple model
tying. input and output state files are in binary format. all related files 
need to be specified in the parameter file. note that the transition file
remains the same in both context independent and context dependent modes.


arguments: 

   -param params_file        : parameters file
   -help 		     : prints this message
	
example :

   init_triphones -param params.text

example parameter file:

   # define the input monophone model file
   #
   in_models_file = data/models.text

   # define the input monophone states file (in binary format)
   #
   in_states_file = data/states.bin

   # define the input monophone transitions file. note that the transitions
   # are not altered during execution of this program
   #
   in_trans_file = data/transitions.text
   
   # define the clustered triphones list which is used to tie different 
   # phones to the same model representation
   #
   tri_clist_file = data/triphones.clist

   # define the list of context-independent model names
   #
   ci_phones_file = data/monophones.text
   
   # define the output (triphone) models and states files. the states file
   # is in binary format
   #
   out_models_file = data/tri_models.text
   out_states_file = data/tri_states.bin
