Abstract

The Knowledge Based Computer Systems project at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) aims to make a concerted effort for research in the area of computer speech recognition in the context of Indian languages. For this, four approaches have been identified, namely the subword unit analysis, hidden Markov models, acoustic-phonetic feature analysis and artificial neural networks. This paper presents each of these approaches briefly and discusses the merits and demerits of each of these approaches. The activities related to the project as well as the work under way at TIFR in each of these approaches is also discussed. It is seen that the four approaches considered in this paper complement each other and may be used in conjunction with each other to improve the performance of speech recognition systems.
