Application of backpropagation neural networks to phonetic element classification
Steven R. Bryan · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1990
A need was established in conjunction with an USAF-sponsored project to develop a speech element classifier. This classifier had to be capable of placing continuous speech into a number of phoneme-like categories, and also had to be independent of speaker identity and individual voice characteristics. The feasibility of using a neural network to perform this classification task was explored. The results of this exploration are discussed here.
