Abstract In our recent research we have discovered that neural networks can be more 
efficient in speech recognition than the state of the art approach based on Gaussian 
mixtures. This statement is valid only for small corpora, however, many applications do not ...

Abstract; In traditional speech recognition systems, a single kind of n-gram is used for n-
gram language model. If a task can divide into more small sub tasks, utilization of several 
kinds of n-gram gives better performance. In this paper, we propose a so-called SS ( ...

Connectionist Models of Speech Segmentation and the Utterance Boundary Strategy: A Comparison of the SOM, SRN and N-GRAMS
JA Hammerton - PROGRESS IN NEURAL PROCESSING, 2004 - books.google.com
Some connectionist models of speech segmentation have exploited the utterance boundary 
strategy, where the fact that utterance endings are also word endings is used to infer where 
word boundaries are. In this paper, it is demonstrated that using a simple N-gram based ...
