Adaptive Networks and Speech Pattern Processing

Pattern Recognition Theory and Applications

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 30))

Abstract

This is an introduction to and interpretation of some techniques which have been developed recently for pattern processing. The first part is concerned with the stochastic modelling approach to pattern recognition, which includes structural and statistical aspects. Various varieties of hidden Markov models, which are the basis of the most successful current automatic speech recognition systems, are viewed as a special case of Markov random fields. The second part is concerned with adaptive networks which “learn” to do jobs such as pattern classification, without necessarily containing explicit models of the data distributions. The main approaches covered are the Boltzmann machine (which is also interpreted as a Markov random field) and a recently invented multi-layer perceptron network.
