Connected word recognition using a level building dynamic time warping algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
The technique of dynamic time warping has proven itself reliable and robust for a wide variety of isolated word recognition tasks. Recently extensions of the algorithm have been investigated for application to the problem of connected word recognition. In this paper a level building technique is proposed for optimally aligning a test pattern, consisting of a sequence of connected words, with a sequence of isolated word reference patterns. This algorithm is shown to be significantly more efficient than the one proposed by Sakoe while solving the exact same problem. Implementation parameters for the level building algorithm are presented and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for connected digit recognition is experimentally verified.

A Level Building Dynamic Time Warping Algorithm for Connected Word Recognition
Dynamic time warping has been shown to be an effective method of handling variations in the time scale of polysyllabic words spoken in isolation. This class of techniques has recently been applied to connected word recognition with high degrees of success. In this paper a level building technique is proposed for optimally time aligning a sequence of connected words with a sequence of isolated w...

This paper aims to develop a writing robot by recognizing the speech signal from the user. The robot arm constructed mainly for the disabled people who can’t perform writing on their own. Here, dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is used to recognize the speech signal from the user. The action performed by the robot arm in the environment is done by reducing the redundancy which frequently fac...
متن کاملTitle Connected Spoken Digit Recognition by Augmented Continuous DP Matching and its Evaluation
Recently, we proposed the Augmented Continuous dynamic time warping algorithm for connected spoken word recognition. The algorithm is based on the same principle as the Two Level DP and Level Building DP. Our algorithm obtains a near optimal solution for the recognition principle based on pattern matching. However, it is computationally more efficient than the conventional methods and does not ...

متن کاملSpeech Recognition as a Retrieval Problem
Common approaches to automatic speech recognition (ASR) are based on training statistical models for the acoustics of speech. In our work, a retrieval-based ASR system is developed that does not rely on training and thus provides more flexible application. It is based on a set of known reference word utterances for each possibly occurring word in a test string. A test word string is identified ...
