Download or read book Supervised Sequence Labelling with Recurrent Neural Networks written by Alex Graves and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-02-06 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supervised sequence labelling is a vital area of machine learning, encompassing tasks such as speech, handwriting and gesture recognition, protein secondary structure prediction and part-of-speech tagging. Recurrent neural networks are powerful sequence learning tools—robust to input noise and distortion, able to exploit long-range contextual information—that would seem ideally suited to such problems. However their role in large-scale sequence labelling systems has so far been auxiliary. The goal of this book is a complete framework for classifying and transcribing sequential data with recurrent neural networks only. Three main innovations are introduced in order to realise this goal. Firstly, the connectionist temporal classification output layer allows the framework to be trained with unsegmented target sequences, such as phoneme-level speech transcriptions; this is in contrast to previous connectionist approaches, which were dependent on error-prone prior segmentation. Secondly, multidimensional recurrent neural networks extend the framework in a natural way to data with more than one spatio-temporal dimension, such as images and videos. Thirdly, the use of hierarchical subsampling makes it feasible to apply the framework to very large or high resolution sequences, such as raw audio or video. Experimental validation is provided by state-of-the-art results in speech and handwriting recognition.

Download or read book Deep Learning for NLP and Speech Recognition written by Uday Kamath and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook explains Deep Learning Architecture, with applications to various NLP Tasks, including Document Classification, Machine Translation, Language Modeling, and Speech Recognition. With the widespread adoption of deep learning, natural language processing (NLP),and speech applications in many areas (including Finance, Healthcare, and Government) there is a growing need for one comprehensive resource that maps deep learning techniques to NLP and speech and provides insights into using the tools and libraries for real-world applications. Deep Learning for NLP and Speech Recognition explains recent deep learning methods applicable to NLP and speech, provides state-of-the-art approaches, and offers real-world case studies with code to provide hands-on experience. Many books focus on deep learning theory or deep learning for NLP-specific tasks while others are cookbooks for tools and libraries, but the constant flux of new algorithms, tools, frameworks, and libraries in a rapidly evolving landscape means that there are few available texts that offer the material in this book. The book is organized into three parts, aligning to different groups of readers and their expertise. The three parts are: Machine Learning, NLP, and Speech Introduction The first part has three chapters that introduce readers to the fields of NLP, speech recognition, deep learning and machine learning with basic theory and hands-on case studies using Python-based tools and libraries. Deep Learning Basics The five chapters in the second part introduce deep learning and various topics that are crucial for speech and text processing, including word embeddings, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks and speech recognition basics. Theory, practical tips, state-of-the-art methods, experimentations and analysis in using the methods discussed in theory on real-world tasks. Advanced Deep Learning Techniques for Text and Speech The third part has five chapters that discuss the latest and cutting-edge research in the areas of deep learning that intersect with NLP and speech. Topics including attention mechanisms, memory augmented networks, transfer learning, multi-task learning, domain adaptation, reinforcement learning, and end-to-end deep learning for speech recognition are covered using case studies.
Download or read book Sequence to Sequence Learning and Its Speech Applications written by Ying Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), which has the attractive properties of modelling sequences, has been dominant in speech field in the recent decades. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has been shown as an alternative to model sequences because of its capacity of reducing spectral variations and modeling spectral correlations in acoustic features for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Recent work suggests that complex numbers could be used as a richer feature representation than spectrum which may benefit the speech related tasks. In the thesis, we first cover the basic concepts in machine learning, building blocks of deep learning and discuss the popular methods that are capable of doing sequence-to-sequence modelling, specially convolutional neural networks, which is famous as a class of feed-forward nets. We then present two research work related to sequence-to-sequence modelling on speech. We introduce a new approach to address speech recognition with convolutional neural networks which shows the comparable results with their recurrent neural networks counterpart. In addition, we present a new model taking advantage of the representation in the complex domain and define complex convolutions, complex batch-normalization, complex weight initialization strategies. The new model results in state-of-the-art of speech spectrum prediction in a convolutional recurrent setting.

Download or read book Connectionist Speech Recognition written by Hervé A. Bourlard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connectionist Speech Recognition: A Hybrid Approach describes the theory and implementation of a method to incorporate neural network approaches into state of the art continuous speech recognition systems based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) to improve their performance. In this framework, neural networks (and in particular, multilayer perceptrons or MLPs) have been restricted to well-defined subtasks of the whole system, i.e. HMM emission probability estimation and feature extraction. The book describes a successful five-year international collaboration between the authors. The lessons learned form a case study that demonstrates how hybrid systems can be developed to combine neural networks with more traditional statistical approaches. The book illustrates both the advantages and limitations of neural networks in the framework of a statistical systems. Using standard databases and comparison with some conventional approaches, it is shown that MLP probability estimation can improve recognition performance. Other approaches are discussed, though there is no such unequivocal experimental result for these methods. Connectionist Speech Recognition is of use to anyone intending to use neural networks for speech recognition or within the framework provided by an existing successful statistical approach. This includes research and development groups working in the field of speech recognition, both with standard and neural network approaches, as well as other pattern recognition and/or neural network researchers. The book is also suitable as a text for advanced courses on neural networks or speech processing.
Download or read book Automatic Speech and Speaker Recognition written by Chin-Hui Lee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in the field of automatic speech and speaker recognition has made a number of significant advances in the last two decades, influenced by advances in signal processing, algorithms, architectures, and hardware. These advances include: the adoption of a statistical pattern recognition paradigm; the use of the hidden Markov modeling framework to characterize both the spectral and the temporal variations in the speech signal; the use of a large set of speech utterance examples from a large population of speakers to train the hidden Markov models of some fundamental speech units; the organization of speech and language knowledge sources into a structural finite state network; and the use of dynamic, programming based heuristic search methods to find the best word sequence in the lexical network corresponding to the spoken utterance. Automatic Speech and Speaker Recognition: Advanced Topics groups together in a single volume a number of important topics on speech and speaker recognition, topics which are of fundamental importance, but not yet covered in detail in existing textbooks. Although no explicit partition is given, the book is divided into five parts: Chapters 1-2 are devoted to technology overviews; Chapters 3-12 discuss acoustic modeling of fundamental speech units and lexical modeling of words and pronunciations; Chapters 13-15 address the issues related to flexibility and robustness; Chapter 16-18 concern the theoretical and practical issues of search; Chapters 19-20 give two examples of algorithm and implementational aspects for recognition system realization. Audience: A reference book for speech researchers and graduate students interested in pursuing potential research on the topic. May also be used as a text for advanced courses on the subject.
Download or read book Hierarchical Neural Network Structures for Phoneme Recognition written by Daniel Vasquez and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, hierarchical structures based on neural networks are investigated for automatic speech recognition. These structures are mainly evaluated within the phoneme recognition task under the Hybrid Hidden Markov Model/Artificial Neural Network (HMM/ANN) paradigm. The baseline hierarchical scheme consists of two levels each which is based on a Multilayered Perceptron (MLP). Additionally, the output of the first level is used as an input for the second level. This system can be substantially speeded up by removing the redundant information contained at the output of the first level.

Download or read book A Convoloutional Neural Network model based on Neutrosophy for Noisy Speech Recognition written by Elyas Rashno and published by Infinite Study. This book was released on with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convolutional neural networks are sensitive to unknown noisy condition in the test phase and so their performance degrades for the noisy data classification task including noisy speech recognition. In this research, a new convolutional neural network (CNN) model with data uncertainty handling; referred as NCNN (Neutrosophic Convolutional Neural Network); is proposed for classification task. Here, speech signals are used as input data and their noise is modeled as uncertainty. In this task, using speech spectrogram, a definition of uncertainty is proposed in neutrosophic (NS) domain. Uncertainty is computed for each Time-frequency point of speech spectrogram as like a pixel.
Download or read book Neural Network Based Representation Learning and Modeling for Speech and Speaker Recognition written by Jinxi Guo and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep learning and neural network research has grown significantly in the fields of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker recognition. Compared to traditional methods, deep learning-based approaches are more powerful in learning representation from data and building complex models. In this dissertation, we focus on representation learning and modeling using neural network-based approaches for speech and speaker recognition. In the first part of the dissertation, we present two novel neural network-based methods to learn speaker-specific and phoneme-invariant features for short-utterance speaker verification. We first propose to learn a spectral feature mapping from each speech signal to the corresponding subglottal acoustic signal which has less phoneme variation, using deep neural networks (DNNs). The estimated subglottal features show better speaker-separation ability and provide complementary information when combined with traditional speech features on speaker verification tasks. Additional, we propose another DNN-based mapping model, which maps the speaker representation extracted from short utterances to the speaker representation extracted from long utterances of the same speaker. Two non-linear regression models using an autoencoder are proposed to learn this mapping, and they both improve speaker verification performance significantly. In the second part of the dissertation, we design several new neural network models which take raw speech features (either complex Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) features or raw waveforms) as input, and perform the feature extraction and phone classification jointly. We first propose a unified deep Highway (HW) network with a time-delayed bottleneck layer (TDB), in the middle, for feature extraction. The TDB-HW networks with complex DFT features as input provide significantly lower error rates compared with hand-designed spectrum features on large-scale keyword spotting tasks. Next, we present a 1-D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, which takes raw waveforms as input and uses convolutional layers to do hierarchical feature extraction. The proposed 1-D CNN model outperforms standard systems with hand-designed features. In order to further reduce the redundancy of the 1-D CNN model, we propose a filter sampling and combination (FSC) technique, which can reduce the model size by 70% and still improve the performance on ASR tasks. In the third part of dissertation, we propose two novel neural-network models for sequence modeling. We first propose an attention mechanism for acoustic sequence modeling. The attention mechanism can automatically predict the importance of each time step and select the most important information from sequences. Secondly, we present a sequence-to-sequence based spelling correction model for end-to-end ASR. The proposed correction model can effectively correct errors made by the ASR systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Long Short Term Memory Long short-term memory, often known as LSTM, is a type of artificial neural network that is utilized in the domains of deep learning and artificial intelligence. LSTM neural networks have feedback connections, in contrast to more traditional feedforward neural networks. This type of recurrent neural network, commonly known as an RNN, is capable of processing not only individual data points but also complete data sequences. Because of this property, LSTM networks are particularly well-suited for the processing and forecasting of data. For instance, LSTM can be used to perform tasks such as connected unsegmented handwriting identification, speech recognition, machine translation, speech activity detection, robot control, video game development, and healthcare.
