Introduction

This project aims to refine and improve the capabilities of KALDI (an Open Source Speech Recogniser). This will require:

  • Improving the current GUI's flexibility
  • Introducing new elements or replacing older elements in the GUI for ease of use
  • Refining current Language and Acoustic model networks in the software to reduce the Word Error Rate (WER)
  • Introducing a Pronunciation model network into the software to reduce the Word Error Rate (WER)
  • Creating an interconnected neural network in the software to introduce Deep Learning

This project will involve the use of Deep Learning algorithms (Automatic Speech Recognition related), software development (C++) and performance evaluation through the Word Error Rate formula. Very little hardware will be involved through its entirety.
