Replicator Neural Networks for Outlier Modeling in Segmental Speech Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with outlier modeling within a very special framework: a segment-based speech recognizer. The recognizer is built on a neural net that, besides classifying speech segments, has to identify outliers as well. One possibility is to artificially generate outlier samples, but this is tedious, error-prone and significantly increases the training time. This study examines the alternative of applying a replicator neural net for this task, originally proposed for outlier modeling in data mining. Our findings show that with a replicator net the recognizer is capable of a very similar performance, but this time without the need for a large amount of outlier data.

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...

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 ...

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown their performance in speech recognition systems for extracting features, and also acoustic modeling. In addition, CNNs have been used for robust speech recognition and competitive results have been reported. Convolutive Bottleneck Network (CBN) is a kind of CNNs which has a bottleneck layer among its fully connected layers. The bottleneck fea...
متن کاملOutlier Detection Using Replicator Neural Networks
We consider the problem of finding outliers in large multivariate databases. Outlier detection can be applied during the data cleansing process of data mining to identify problems with the data itself, and to fraud detection where groups of outliers are often of particular interest. We use replicator neural networks (RNNs) to provide a measure of the outlyingness of data records. The performanc...
متن کاملA Hybrid Neural Net System for State-of-the-Art Continuous Speech Recognition
Untill recently, state-of-the-art, large-vocabulary, continuous speech recognition (CSR) has employed Hidden Markov Modeling (HMM) to model speech sounds. In an attempt to improve over HMM we developed a hybrid system that integrates HMM technology with neural networks. We present the concept of a "Segmental Neural Net" (SNN) for phonetic modeling in CSR. By taking into account all the frames o...
