Abstract
An approach for phoneme recognition is described. A sequence of intermediate output posterior vectors is generated from an input sequence of cepstral features using a first layer perceptron. The intermediate output posterior vectors are then downsampled to form a reduced input set of intermediate posterior vectors for a second layer perceptron. A sequence of final posterior vectors is generated from the reduced input set of intermediate posterior vectors using the second layer perceptron. Then the final posterior vectors are decoded to determine an output recognized phoneme sequence representative of the input sequence of cepstral features.
