Abstract

The word boundary detection has an application in speech processing systems. The problem this paper tries to solve is to separate words of a sequence of phonemes where there is no delimiter between phonemes. In this paper, at first, a recurrent fuzzy neural network (RFNN) together with its relevant structure is proposed and learning algorithm is presented. Next, this RFNN is used to predict word boundaries. Some experiments have already been implemented to determine complete structure of RFNN. Here in this paper, three methods are proposed to encode input phoneme and their performance have been evaluated. Some experiments have been conducted to determine required number of fuzzy rules and then performance of RFNN in predicting word boundaries is tested. Experimental results show an acceptable performance.
