In this paper we develop a Turkish speech recognition (SR) system using deep neural networks and compare it with the previous state-of-the-art traditional Gaussian mixture model-hidden Markov model (GMM-HMM) method using the same Turkish speech dataset and the same large vocabulary Turkish corpus. Nowadays most SR systems deployed worldwide and particularly in Turkey use Hidden Markov Models to deal with the speech temporal variations. Gaussian mixture models are used to estimate the amount at which each state of each HMM fits a short frame of coefficients which is the representation of an acoustic input. A deep neural network consisting of feed-forward neural network is another way to estimate the fit; this neural network takes as input several frames of coefficients and gives as output posterior probabilities over HMM states. It has been shown that the use of deep neural networks can outperform the traditional GMM-HMM in other languages such as English and German. The fact that Turkish language is an agglutinative language and the lack of a huge amount of speech data complicate the design of a performant SR system. By making use of deep neural networks we will obviously improve the performance but still we will not achieve better result than English language due to the difference in the availability of speech data. We present various architectural and training techniques for the Turkish DNN-based models. The models are tested using a Turkish database collected from mobile devices. In the experiments, we observe that the Turkish DNN-HMM system have decreased the word error rate approximately 2.5% when compared to the GMM-HMM traditional system. |
