Continuous Speech Recognition by Linked Predictive Neural Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a large vocabulary, continuous speech recognition system based on Linked Predictive Neural Networks (LPNN's). The system uses neural networks as predictors of speech frames, yielding distortion measures which are used by the One Stage DTW algorithm to perform continuous speech recognition. The system, already deployed in a Speech to Speech Translation system, currently achieves 95%, 58%, and 39% word accuracy on tasks with perplexity 5, 111, and 402 respectively, outperforming several simple HMMs that we tested. We also found that the accuracy and speed of the LPNN can be slightly improved by the judicious use of hidden control inputs. We conclude by discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the predictive approach.

Predictive neural networks applied to phoneme recognition
In this paper a phoneme recognition system based on predictive neural networks is proposed. Neural networks are used to predict observation vectors of speech frames. The obtained prediction error is used for phoneme recognition as 1) distortion measure on the frame level and 2) as feature, which is statistically modeled by the Rayleigh distribution. Continuous speech phoneme recognition experim...

Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is an important part of speech-based Human-Computer Interface (HCI) applications. Previous SER methods rely on the extraction of features and training an appropriate classifier. However, most of those features can be affected by emotionally irrelevant factors such as gender, speaking styles and environment. Here, an SER method has been proposed based on a concat...
