The present study describes neural networks for stereoscopic vision, which are applied to identifying human speech. In speech recognition based on stereoscopic vision neural networks (SVNN), the similarities are first obtained by comparing input vocal signals with standard models. They are then given to a dynamic process in which both competitive and cooperative processes are conducted among neighboring similarities. Through the dynamic processes, only one winner neuron is finally detected. In a comparative study, the two-layered SVNN was 7.7% higher in recognition accuracies than the hidden Markov model (HMM). From the evaluation results, it was noticed that SVNN outperformed the existing HMM recognizer.

This paper describes two kinds of neural networks for stereoscopic vision, which have been applied to an identification of human speech. In speech recognition based on the stereoscopic vision neural networks (SVNN), the similarities are first obtained by comparing input vocal signals with standard models. They are then given to a dynamic process in which both competitive and cooperative processes are conducted among neighboring similarities. Through the dynamic processes, only one winner neuron is finally detected. In a comparative study, with, the average phoneme recognition accuracy on the two-layered SVNN was 7.7% higher than the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) recognizer with the structure of a single mixture and three states, and the three-layered was 6.6% higher. Therefore, it was noticed that SVNN outperformed the existing HMM recognizer in phoneme recognition.

The modified neural net pattern recognition equations were attempted to apply to speech recognition. The proposed method has a dynamic process of self-organization that has been proved to be successful in recognizing a depth perception in stereoscopic vision. This study has shown that the process has also been useful in recognizing human speech. In the processing, input vocal signals are first compared with standard models to measure similarities that are then given to a process of self-organization in neural net equations. The competitive and cooperative processes are conducted among neighboring input similarities, so that only one winner neuron is finally detected. In a comparative study, it showed that the proposed neural networks outperformed the conventional HMM speech recognizer under the same conditions.
