technology:
Data Collection : Firstly, a speech recognition system needs to be trained
with a large amount of speech data This data includes speech samples from various individuals with variations in voice, context, and language
Preprocessing : Speech data is typically preprocessed to eliminate noise and
enhance essential information This may involve removing background noise, cleaning signals, and converting audio into a suitable format for
processing
Feature Extraction : From the preprocessed data, crucial features of speech
need to be extracted This often involves using methods such as
mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) to represent important information about the frequency and amplitude of speech
Machine Learning Models : Machine learning models, often deep learning
models, are used to train on speech data represented by the extracted
Trang 5features This model can be Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN),
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), or other deep learning
architectures
Model Training : The model is trained to learn how to represent and classify
speech features During this process, the model is adjusted through
backpropagation to minimize the error between predicted output and actual values
Classification and Recognition : Once the model is trained, it can be used to
classify and recognize speech from new inputs Speech recognition systems often have the capability to identify speakers, languages, and even specific words and phrases in a language
Optimization and Deployment : After the model is trained and tested, it can
be optimized and deployed in real-world applications, such as
voice-controlled systems, speech recognition systems on mobile phones, or in security applications
Speech recognition technologies are increasingly popular and integrated into various fields to enhance user experience and augment the interaction
