Abstract

This paper demonstrates the integration of contextual information in a neural network for speech perception. Neural networks have been unable to integrate such information successfully because they cannot implement conditional rule structures. The Bicameral neural network employs an asynchronous controller which allows conditional rules to choose neurons for update rather than updating them randomly. The Bicameral model is applied to the perception of word-final plosives, an ongoing problem for machine recognition of speech.
