Abstract
This paper deals with automatic optimization of free decoding parameters. We propose using a Simplified Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation algorithm to optimize these parameters. This method provides a significant reduction in computational and labor costs. We also demonstrate that the proposed method successfully copes with the optimization of parameters for a specific target real-time factor, for all the databases we tested.
