A Life-Based Classifier for Automatic Speech Recognition

Abstract

Research in speech recognition has produced different approaches that have been used for the classification of speech utterances in the back-end of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. As speech recognition is a pattern recognition problem, classification is an important part of any speech recognition system. This paper proposes a new back-end classifier that is based on artificial life (ALife) and describes how the proposed classifier can be used in a speech recognition system.
