Abstract:This paper introduces a new back-end classifier for a speech recognition system that is based on artificial life (ALife). The ALife species being used for classification purposes are called wains, which were developed using the Créatúr framework. The speech recognition task used in the evaluation of the new classifier is that of isolated digit recognition. Performance of the proposed back-end classifier is benchmarked for comparison purposes against a hidden Markov model (HMM)-based classifier. Mel frequency c… Show more
