چکیده

Deviating from the conventional Hidden Markov ModelMulti-Layer Perceptron (HMM-MLP) hybrid paradigm of using MLP for classi cation, the proposed discriminative MLP technique uses MLP as a mapping module for feature extraction for conventional HMM-based systems. The MLP is discriminatively trained on the phonetically labeled training data to generate the phoneme posterior probabilities. We achieved a relative word error rate reduction of 15-35% on AURORA Phase 2 continuous digit recognition task de ned by ETSI.

Discriminative optimization of large vocabulary Mandarin conversational speech recognition system

This paper examines techniques of discriminative optimization for acoustic model, including both HMM parameters and linear transforms, in the context of HUB5 Mandarin large vocabulary speech recognition task, with the aim to partly solve the problems brought by the sparseness and the highly ambiguous nature of the telephony conversational speech data. Three techniques are studied: MMI training ...

The efficient incorporation of MLP features into automatic speech recognition systems

In recent years, the use of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) derived acoustic features has become increasingly popular in automatic speech recognition systems. These features are typically used in combination with standard short-term spectral-based features, and have been found to yield consistent performance improvements. However there are a number of design decisions and issues associated with th...

Comparison and Combination of Multilayer Perceptrons and Deep Belief Networks in Hybrid Automatic Speech Recognition Systems

To improve the speech recognition performance, many ways to augment or combine HMMs (Hidden Markov Models) with other models to build hybrid architectures have been proposed. The hybrid HMM/ANN (Hidden Markov Model / Artificial Neural Network) architecture is one of the most successful approaches. In this hybrid model, ANNs (which are often multilayer perceptron neural networks MLPs) are used a...
