Automatic Speech Recognition: A Review
Enterprise Information Systems V, 2005Co-Authors: Jean-paul HatonAbstract:Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has been extensively studied during the past few decades. Most of present systems are based on statistical modeling, both at the acoustic and linguistic levels, not only for Recognition, but also for understanding. Speech Recognition in adverse conditions has recently received increased attention since noise resistance has become one of the major bottlenecks for practical use of Speech recognizers. After briefly recalling the basic principles of statistical approaches to ASR (especially in a Bayesian framework), we present the types of solutions that have been proposed so far in order to obtain good performance in real life conditions.

Neural networks for Automatic Speech Recognition: a review
Speech Processing Recognition and Artificial Neural Networks, 1999Co-Authors: Jean-paul HatonAbstract:Most present Automatic Speech Recognition systems are based on stochastic models, especially hidden Markov models (HMMs). However, during the past ten years, several projects have been directed toward the use of a new class of models: the connectionist artificial neural networks (ANNs).

Fundamentals of Automatic Speech Recognition
Robustness in Automatic Speech Recognition, 1996Co-Authors: Jean-claude Junqua, Jean-paul HatonAbstract:After summarizing the difficulties encountered in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), we briefly describe the main approaches to ASR and present a historical review. We proceed by introducing popular distance measures used to evaluate the differences between extracted parameters. Then, we focus on the main pattern Recognition approaches, namely dynamic programming algorithms, stochastic modeling, and neural networks. We conclude this chapter by reviewing speaker-dependent and speaker-independent Recognition along with common discriminant methods used to improve ASR of confusable words.

Croatian Large Vocabulary Automatic Speech Recognition
Automatika — Journal for Control Measurement Electronics Computing and Communications, 2011Co-Authors: Sanda Martinčić-ipšić, Miran Pobar, Ivo IpšićAbstract:This paper presents procedures used for development of a Croatian large vocabulary Automatic Speech Recognition system (LVASR). The proposed acoustic model is based on context-dependent triphone hidden Markov models and Croatian phonetic rules. Different acoustic and language models, developed using a large collection of Croatian Speech, are discussed and compared. The paper proposes the best feature vectors and acoustic modeling procedures using which lowest word error rates for Croatian Speech are achieved. In addition, Croatian language modeling procedures are evaluated and adopted for speaker independent spontaneous Speech Recognition. Presented experiments and results show that the proposed approach for Automatic Speech Recognition using context-dependent acoustic modeling based on Croatian phonetic rules and a parameter tying procedure can be used for efficient Croatian large vocabulary Speech Recognition with word error rates below 5%.
