Speech Recognition Using Recurrent Neural Prediction Models

In this paper, we propose recurrent neural prediction models (RNPM), recurrent neural networks trained as a nonlinear predictor of speech, as a new connectionist model for speech recognition. RNPM modulates its mapping effectively by internal representation, and it requires no time alignment algorithm. Therefore, computational load at the recognition stage is reduced substantially compared with the well known predictive neural networks (PNN), and the size of the required memory is much smaller. And, RNPM does not suffer from the problem of deciding the time varying target function. In the speaker dependent and independent speech recognition experiments under the various conditions, the proposed model was comparable in recognition performance to the PNN, while retaining the above merits that PNN doesn't have.
