Acoustic-Phonetics Based Speech Recognition
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of this project is to develop a robust and high-performance speech recognitiotl system using a segment-based approach to phonetic recognition. The recognition system will eventually be integrated with natural language processing to achieve spoken lallguagc understanding. Developed a phonetic recognition front-end and achieved 77% and 71% classiilcatiou accuracy under speaker-dependent and-independent conditions, respectively, using a set of 38 context-independent models. Collaborated with researchers at SRI in the development of the MISTRI system, making explicit use of acoustic-phonetic and phonological knowledge. Developed the SUMMIT speech recognition system that incorporates auditory modelling and explicit segmentation, and achieved a speaker-independent accuracy of 87% on the DARPA 1000-word Resource Management task using 75 phoneme models. Developed probabilistic natural language system, TINA, and achieved a test-set coverage of 78% with perplexity of 42 for the Resource Management task. • Transcribed all 6300 sentences for the TIMIT database. Developed a set of research tools for the DARPA speech research community in ot'dcr to facilitate data collection, parameter computation, statistical analysis, and speech synthesis. Improve the speech recognition performance by incorporating context-dependency ia phoneme modelling. Integrate TINA into SUMMIT in order to develop spoken language understanding capabilities. Develop a back-end on the task of a Knowledgeable Navigator, and integrate it with the spoken language system. Begin hardware development, such that the system will soon be able to execute in near real-time.

A Phonetically Based Semivowel Recqgnition System
A phonetically based approach to speech recognition uses speech specific knowledge obtained from phonotactics, phonology and acoustic phonetics to capture relevant phonetic information. Thus, a recognition system based on this approach can make broad classiflcations as well as detailed phonetic distinctions. This paper discusses a framework for developing a phonettcally based recognition system...
متن کاملPersian Phone Recognition Using Acoustic Landmarks and Neural Network-based variability compensation methods
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 ...
متن کاملSpeech Recognition using Acoustic Landmarks and Binary Phonetic Feature Classifiers
In spite of decades of research, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is far from reaching the goal of performance close to Human Speech Recognition (HSR). One of the reasons for unsatisfactory performance of the state-of-the-art ASR systems, that are based largely on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), is the inferior acoustic modeling of low level or phonetic level linguistic information in the speech...
متن کاملThe Role of Phonetics in Speech to Speech Translation
Although first demonstrators for speech to speech translation have been presented, they are still ‘show cases’ with lacking robustness for everyday usage. This lacking robustness is caused by the insufficient performance of the building blocks of speech to speech translation systems i.e. of speech recognition, spoken language translation and speech synthesis. In the context of a phonetic confer...

In this paper, we discuss an automatic event-based recognition system (EBS) that is based on phonetic feature theory and acoustic phonetics. First, acoustic events related to the manner phonetic features are extracted from the speech signal. Second, based on the manner acoustic events, information related to the place phonetic features and voicing are extracted. Most recently, we focused on pla...
متن کاملA speech recognition strategy based on making acoustic evidence and phonetic knowledge explicit
We describe a prototype implementation of a representational approach to acoustic-phonetics in knowledge-based speech recognition. Our scheme is based on the 'Speech Sketch', a structure which enables acoustic evidence and phonetic knowledge to be represented in similar ways, so that like can be compared with like. The process of building the Speech Sketch begins with spectrogram image processi...
