Real time neural networks. III. Alternative neural networks for speech applications

For pt.II, see ibid., p.584-90 (1991). Waibel Sawai and Shikano (1989), have successfully used traditional neural networks (TNNs), in conjunction with a certain time-delay framework, to recognize phonemes in spoken Japanese syllables. In this paper, the authors first describe Waibel et. al.´s time delay neural network model. They then make several modifications to that model and indicate how procedures can be developed to automatically identify key variables and their cross products, within the structured conjunctoid neural net framework rather than the nonparametric TNN framework,
