Abstract
A comparison among neural net models (Multilayer Perceptron, Time Delay, and Recurrent neural networks) is proposed. The aim is to evaluate, from a practical point of view, their performance on a problem of classification of phonemes. The efficacy and the limitation of each model will be discussed in the light of their dependence on free parameters like the number of hidden nodes, learning rate and initial weight values.
