Continuous speech recognition using PLP analysis with multilayer perceptrons

Abstract
The authors investigate the use of continuous features derived by perceptual linear predictive (PLP) analysis, examine the effect of adding temporal features, and compare it to the previously studied use of multiframe input. Comparisons of the MLP (multilayer perceptron) and conventional Gaussian classifiers are also reported. The speaker-dependent portion of the Resource Management database was used for this test. Additionally, some experiments were performed with a perplexity-2200 speaker-independent recognition task on a subset of the TIMIT database. In each case, the PLP features were used as input to the networks. The experiments show the advantage of continuous PLP features and their first and second temporal derivatives.<>
