COMPARISON AND COOPERATION OF SEVERAL CLASSIFIERS

This paper presents the comparison of several methods on a multi-speaker isolated word small vocabulary problem. A sub-optimal cooperation between Time Delay Neural Networks and other algorithms is proposed and successfully tested on the problem. An optimal cooperation method between Dynamic Programming and some other algorithms is proposed. We use the following abbreviations: Dynamic Programming (DP), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ), Isolated Word Recognition (IWR), Hidden Markov Models (HMM).
