Temporal Representations in a Connectionist Speech System
نویسنده
چکیده
SYREN is a connectionist model that uses temporal information in a speech signal for syllable recognition. It classifies the rates and directions of formant center transitions, and uses an adaptive method to associate transition events with each syllable. The system uses explicit spatial temporal representations through delay lines. SYREN uses implicit parametric temporal representations in formant transition classification through node activation onset, decay, and transition delays in sub-networks analogous to visual motion detector cells. SYREN recognizes 79% of six repetitions of 24 consonant-vowel syllables when tested on unseen data, and recognizes 100% of its training syllables.

Using Hybrid Connectionist Learning for Improving Speech/Language Analysis
In this paper we describe a screening approach for speech/ language analysis using learned, at connectionist representations. For investigating this approach we built a hybrid connectionist system using a large number of connectionist and symbolic modules. Our system SCREEN 1 learns a at syntactic and semantic analysis of incremental streams of word hypothesis sequences. In this paper we focus ...

متن کاملSpeech Recognition Using Connectionist Networks Dissertation Proposal
The thesis of the proposed research is that connectionist networks are adequate models for the problem of acoustic phonetic speech recognition by computer. Adequacy is defined as suitably high recognition performance on a representative set of speech recognition problems. Seven acoustic phonetic problems are selected and discussed in relation to a physiological theory of phonetics. It is argued...
متن کاملSCREEN : Learning a Flat Syntactic and Semantic SpokenLanguage Analysis Using Arti cial Neural
Previous approaches of analyzing spontaneously spoken language often have been based on encoding syntactic and semantic knowledge manually and symbolically. While there has been some progress using statistical or connectionist language models, many current spoken-language systems still use a relatively brittle, hand-coded symbolic grammar or symbolic semantic component. In contrast, we describe...
