SPEECHRECOGNITION

SEMINAR ON SPEECH RECOGNITION : The computer revolution is now well advanced, but although we see a starting preparation of computer machines in many forms of work people do, the domain of computers is still significantly small because of the specialized training needed to use them and the lack of intelligence in computer systems. In the history of computer science five generations have passed by, each adding a new innovative technology that brought computers nearer and nearer to the people. Now it is sixth generation, whose prime objective is to make computers more intelligent i.e., to make computer systems that can think as humans.
The fifth generation was aimed at using conventional symbolic Artificial Intelligence techniques to achieve machine intelligence. Thus failed. Statistical modeling and Neural Nets are really sixth generation. The goal of work in Artificial Intelligence is to build the machines that perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence. True, but speech recognition seeing and walking don’t require “intelligence, but human perceptual ability and motor control. Speech Technology is now one of the major significant scientific research fields under the broad domain of AI; indeed it is a major co-domain of computer science, apart from the traditional linguistics and other disciplines that study the spoken language.
