A Comparative Study of Khasi Speech Recognition Systems with Recurrent Neural Network-Based Language Model

Abstract

This paper offers a comparative analysis of Khasi speech recognition systems utilizing a recurrent neural network-based language model (RNN-LM). Develop different acoustic models (AMs) to evaluate the optimal performance. This paper observed that using RNN-LM performed best than traditional other models. The wave surfer performs data processing followed by collecting the recorder based continuous speech database. Moreover, a minimization of word error rate (WER) in 2.83.8% range for major speech data and 2.4-3.5% for minor speech data. Additionally, two acoustic features are used, and from the experimental results, the Mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) yielded improved performance than the perceptual linear prediction (PLP).
