Realization of Hidden Markov Model for English Digit Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of the work described here is to compare the isolated English language digit speech recognition using Hidden Markov Model for speaker independent system. Two different datasets were collected of audio recordings for the said comparison of isolated digits of English language. Speakers here read numeric digits 0 to 9 i.e. ZERO to NINE. One corpus is self recorded signals and other is standard CUAVE dataset (36 speakers, each uttered 10 words). The training and testing samples are separated for speaker dependent and speaker independent systems. The system has been implemented using the HMM toolkit i.e. HTK by training HMMs of the words making the vocabulary on the training data. Different HMMs for individual digits have been initialized and trained to have well modeled structure. The trained system was tested on training data as well as test data and results shown that most of the speech samples were correctly recognized. The system was tested for speaker independent and dependent way, to check the changes in the recognition rate. Further this can be used by developers and researchers interested in speech recognition for English language not only for isolated digits but also for other words of English language. If clean database is available, further this can be generalized to recognize words of any language. Continuous speech can also be recognized using study of this system. General Terms Algorithm, Confusion matrix, Database, Speech Recognition.

متن کاملComparative Study of ANN and HMM to Arabic Digits Recognition Systems
Arabic language is a Semitic language that has many differences when compared to Latin languages such as English. One of these differences is how to pronounce the ten digits, zero through nine. All Arabic digits are polysyllabic (except digit zero which is a monosyllabic) words and most of them contain Arabic unique phonemes, namely, pharyngeal and emphatic subset. In a previous paper the resea...
متن کاملSubspace Distribution Clustering HMM for Chinese Digit Speech Recognition
As a kind of statistical method, the technique of Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is widely used for speech recognition. In order to train the HMM to be more effective with much less amount of data, the Subspace Distribution Clustering Hidden Markov Model (SDCHMM), derived from the Continuous Density Hidden Markov Model (CDHMM), is introduced. With parameter tying, a new method to train SDCHMMs is de...

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...
متن کاملSpeech recognition with state-based nearest neighbour classifiers
We present a system that uses nearest neighbour classification on the state level of the hidden Markov model. Common speech recognition systems nowadays use Gaussian mixtures with a very high number of densities. We propose to carry this idea to the extreme, such that each observation is a prototype of its own. This approach is well-known and widely used in other areas of pattern recognition an...
