Abstract
This paper discusses the use of speech recognition techniques in non-speech sound recognition. It analyses the different techniques used for speech recognition and identifies those that can be used for non-speech sound recognition. It then performs benchmarks on these techniques and determines which technique is better suited for non-speech sound recognition. As a comparison, it also gives results for the use of learning vector quantization (LVQ) and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques in speech recognition.
