Description
This monograph discusses the dominance of Local Features (LFs), as input to the Multilayer Neural Network (MLN), extracted from a Bangla input speech over Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). Here, LF-based method comprises three stages- (i) LF extraction from input speech, (ii) Phoneme probabilities extraction using MLN from LF and (iii) The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based classifier to obtain more accurate phoneme strings.
