Isolated Word Recognition Using Neural Network for Disordered Speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
The society is fully aware of the needs of impaired people. One such impairment resulting due to articulatory or congenital conditions in human speech production mechanism produces a disordered speech. This disordered speech is difficult to interpret and leads to miscommunication. Thus, the speech enabled helping aid is a good alternative to existing devices designed to assist the impaired speakers. Taking this into consideration, this work proposes a spoken word recognition system using a General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) for disordered speech. The complex cepstrum based feature extraction is employed due to their ability to represent the speech production model with mixed phase response. The proposed system is compared with the state of the art techniques. The results are verified using objective and subjective measures. The results suggest that the GRNN based parallel training recognition system performs better in terms of accuracy in contrast to baseline recognition algorithms.

Recently there has been increasing interest in ways of using outof-domain (OOD) data to improve automatic speech recognition performance in domains where only limited data is available. This paper focuses on one such domain, namely that of disordered speech for which only very small databases exist, but where normal speech can be considered OOD. Standard approaches for handling small data domai...

Speech recognition is a subfield of artificial intelligence that develops technologies to convert speech utterance into transcription. So far, various methods such as hidden Markov models and artificial neural networks have been used to develop speech recognition systems. In most of these systems, the speech signal frames are processed uniformly, while the information is not evenly distributed ...

An implementation of the recently proposed concept of the Liquid State Machine using a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) is trained to perform isolated word recognition. We investigate two different speech front ends and different ways of coding the inputs into spike trains. The robustness against noise added to the speech is also briefly researched. It turns out that a biologically realistic config...
