Acoustic-phonetic decoding of speech

Several methods for acoustic-phonetic decoding are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the need for mathematical methods for speech recognition. Several examples of statistical methods are described. The author presents several techniques for incorporating “speech knowledge” into these statistical models, and provides a simple formalism for using multiple knowledge sources in a coherent speech recognition system.
