Speech recognition with a new hybrid architecture combining neural networks and continuous HMM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. In this paper, we focus on a novel NN/HMM architecture for continuous speech recognition. The architecture incorporates a neural feature extraction to gain more discriminative feature vectors for the underlying HMM system. The feature extraction can be chosen either linear or non-linear and can incorporate recurrent connections. With this hybrid system, that is an extension of a state-of-the-art continuous HMM system, we managed to significantly outperform these standard systems. Experimental results show a relative error reduction of about 10% on a remarkably good recognition system based on continuous HMMs for the Resource Management 1000-word continuous speech recognition task.

Although, speech recognition systems are widely used and their accuracies are continuously increased, there is a considerable performance gap between their accuracies and human recognition ability. This is partially due to high speaker variations in speech signal. Deep neural networks are among the best tools for acoustic modeling. Recently, using hybrid deep neural network and hidden Markov mo...
