Abstract

The paper presents an exhaustive test between the Multilayer Perceptron Fully Connected (MLPFC) trained with backpropagation using the feedback learning rule on one side and three well-established non-NN, standard Isolated Word Recognition (IWR) techniques on the other, using to this aim a multilingual speech database formed by a common vocabulary in three languages: German, Italian and Spanish. This comparative testing has been centered on speaker-independent conditions and two different training subsets have been used. An additional multi-speaker test has been performed on the Spanish vocabulary in order to compare the performances of the MLPFC and backpropagation with feedback learning algorithm with the non-NN methods.
