Abstract

To overcome the problem of poor recognition performance and being prone to be trapped in local
optima, this paper proposes a hierarchical phoneme classification method based on deep belief network (DBN).
The system consists of two parts: a bottleneck feature and a phoneme classifier, both DBN based. The two
parts are combined to form a phoneme recognition system. The system can extract low dimensional and
supervising features, and improve classification accuracy. Experiments on TIMIT corpus suggest that the
proposed system can obtain 18.5% phoneme error rate as compared with existing systems.
