Abstract: This paper presents a method of automatic recognition of Bengali
numerals spoken in noise-free and noisy environments by multiple speakers with
different dialects. Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) are used for
feature extraction, and Principal Component Analysis is used as a feature
summarizer to form the feature vector from the MFCC data for each digit
utterance. Finally, we use Support Vector Machines, Multi-Layer Perceptrons,
and Random Forests to recognize the Bengali digits and compare their
performance. In our approach, we treat each digit utterance as a single
indivisible entity, and we attempt to recognize it using features of the digit
utterance as a whole. This approach can therefore be easily applied to spoken
digit recognition tasks for other languages as well.
Keywords: Speech recognition, isolated digits,
principal component analysis, support vector machines, multi-layered
perceptrons, random forests.
