Learning Phonetic Features Using Connectionist Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for learning phonetic features from speech data using connectionist networks is described. A temporal flow model is introduced in which sampled speech data flows through a parallel network from input to output units. The network uses hidden units with recurrent links to capture spectral/temporal characteristics of phonetic features. A supervised learning algorithm is presented which performs gradient descent in weight space using a coarse approximation of the desired output as an evaluation function. A simple connectionist network with recurrent links was trained on a single instance of the word pair "no" and "go", and successful learned a discriminatory mechanism. The trained network also correctly discriminated 98% of 25 other tokens of each word by the same speaker. A single integrated spectral feature was formed without segmentation of the input, and without a direct comparison of the two items.

This paper reports the results of experiments in complex Arabic phonetic features identification using a rulebased system (SARPH) and modular connectionist architectures. The first technique we present, operates in the field of analytic approaches and intends to implement a relevant system for automatic segmentation and labeling through the use of finite state networks (FSN). For this task, an ...
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...

In this research connectionist modeling of decision making has been presented. Important areas for decision making in the brain are thalamus, prefrontal cortex and Amygdala. Connectionist modeling with 3 parts representative for these 3 areas is made based the result of Iowa Gambling Task. In many researches Iowa Gambling Task is used to study emotional decision making. In these kind of decisio...
متن کاملA Connectionist Expert Approach
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are widely and successfully used in speech recognition, but still many limitations are inherited to their topologies and learning style. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, we combine in a speech recognition hybrid system the pattern processing of ANNs and the logical inferencing of symbolic approaches. In particular, we are interested in the Connectio...
