Abstract

A parallel recognizer algorithm for automatic speech recognition (ASR) was presented. This algorithm uses the principle of best-fit in an open competition for all phonemes in the Knowledge Base of Reference Phonemes (KBRP). The phonemes were concurrently matched in KBRP to an input T using a set of defined segment entities. This made it possible to convert the matrix computation of two-level dynamic programming (TLDP) to a vector space.
