// This gets the derivative of the (MMI or MPE) objective function w.r.t. the
// statistics for ML update, assuming we're doing an ML update-- as described in
// the original fMPE paper.  This is used in fMPE/fMMI, for the "indirect
// differential".  This derivative is represented as class AccumDiagGmm, as
// derivatives w.r.t. the x and x^2 stats directly (not w.r.t. the mean and
// variance).
//
// If the parameter "rescaling" is true, this function will assume that instead
// of the ML update, you will do a "rescaling" update as in the function
// DoRescalingUpdate().
//
// CAUTION: for fMPE (as opposed to fMMI), to get the right answer, you would have
// to pre-scale the num and den accs by the acoustic scale (e.g. 0.1).

// This function "DoRescalingUpdate" updates the GMMs in a special way-- it
// first works out how the Gaussians differ from the old stats (in terms of an
// offset on the mean, a scale on the variance, and a factor on the weights),
// and it updates the model so that it will differ in the same way from the new
// stats.
//
// The idea here is that the original model may have been discriminatively
// trained, but we may have changed the features or the domain or something
// of that nature, and we want to update the model but preserve the discriminative
// training (viewed as an offset).
