The Future Of Artificial Neural Networks And Speech Recognition

Abstract

As PC clock speeds accelerate past 2 gigahertz, feweveryday applications actually require these kinds of processor speeds. Of course, some users involved with intense game playing or video editing will always demand more speed, but typical users surfing theWeb, editing documents, and sending email are already content with today's PC speeds. The next killer application that will require mainstream users to push for even faster speeds will likely be speech recognition. Speech is the ultimate manmachine interface and very comfortable for humans but extremely processor-intensive for computers. Speech recognition, speech analysis and synthesis, and speech understanding have seen rapid growth during the past decade and will be maturing in the next few decades. This chapter will overview the state of the art in speech recognition and, in particular, the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) with speech recognition.
