INTRODUCTION TO AI
 WHAT IS HUMAN INTELLIGENCE?
It’s a composition of abilities like:
• Learning
• Reasoning
• Perceiving
• Understanding of Language
• Feeling
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
• Basically, “Putting human Intelligence into
machines”.
• Create intelligent machines and software.
• Lots of Innovations.
• Systems that act like humans
• Systems that think like humans
• Systems that think and act rationally
 TYPES OF AI
WEAK AI STRONG AI
• Simulates human thoughts and • Matches or exceeds human
actions. intelligence.
• Actions, decisions and ideas are • Intelligent on their own.

AI.
 SOFTWARE OF AI
• PROLOG(PROgramming in LOgic):All other programming Languages
tell the computer how to do something, PROLOG tells the computer what
to do.
• LISP(LISt Processor): Allows the programmer to arrange the information
in orderly sequence.
 APPLICATIONS OF AI
• Speech Recognition.
• Facial Recognition.
• Military.
• Life sciences.
• Robotics.
• Gaming.
 WHAT IS SPEECH RECOGNITION?
• The process of enabling a
computer to identify and
respond to the sounds produced
in human speech.
• Also known as Voice
Recognition
 WHAT DOES IT DO?
• Verbal human-machine interaction.
• Response from computer in natural
language.
• User reliability.
• Transforms spoken words into text.
 TYPES OF SPEECH RECOGNITION
SPEAKER DEPENDENT
• Recognizes single person voice.
• Limited number of words.
• High accuracy.
• Specific applications
SPEAKER INDEPENDENT
• Recognizes anyone’s voice.
• Unlimited words.
• Low accuracy.
• Numerous applications.
WORKING
 STATISTICAL MODELS OF SPEECH
RECOGNITION
• ACOUSTIC MODEL
• LANGUAGE MODEL
• LEXICON MODEL
• HIDDEN MARCOV MODEL
ACOUSTIC MODEL
LANGUAGE MODEL
LEXICON MODEL
HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL
DISTINCTIVE DECODING METHODS OF
SPEECH RECOGNITION
• Pattern Recognition
• Acoustic Phonetic
• Artificial Intelligence
 PATTERN RECOGNITION
• Incorporates Pattern comparison and Pattern training.
• Utilizes mathematical framework.
• Assists in formulating speech patterns.
• Further divided into two approaches
a) Stochastic approach
b) Template approach
 ACOUSTIC PHONETIC
• Assigning labels to sample sounds to recognize sound patterns.
• It consists of phonetic units within spoken language.
• These units are categorized by collection of acoustic properties.
 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
• Combination of Pattern Recognition approach and acoustic phonetic
approach.
• Utilizes the information related to spectogram,phonetic and linguistic.
• Credible and efficient method.
• Collects information from respective environment and respond in
intelligent manner.
 SOFTWARES AVAILABLE
• Dragon
• Ivona
• Entrada
• Lilyspeech
• Braina
• Sonix
FEW EXAMPLES OF SPEECH RECOGNITION
DEVICES ON MOBILE HANDSETS
 ADVANTAGES
• Assists paralyzed and handicapped people.
• Saves time for user
• Simple handling of software
• Comfortable human-machine interaction.
• Lower operational costs.
 DISADVANTAGES
• Background noise difficulty.
• Different slangs, accent of users.
• Voice changeability based on body and environmental condition.
• Mixed language.
• Difficult to build a perfect system.
 APPLICATIONS
• Telephone speech recognizers for enquiries.
• Medical and darkroom appliances.
• For handicapped.
• Intelligent houses.
• Generation of subtitles.
• Military and aviation.
• In Smart phones.
 FUTURE SCOPE
• Accuracy will become better and better.
• Scientists are currently working on a Universal voice recognition
translator of sorts, where people of any language can speak, and what they
say can be translated into any language, in both speech and text formats.
• Though for in the future, it may also be possible for computers to not only
recognize what we are saying but understand what we are saying and
communicate back with us as well.
 CONCLUSION
• Speech recognition is the process of transforming the input signals
(usually speech) into the well-structured sequences of words.
• Several techniques and approaches have been developed to overcome this
issue.
• Amid all of those methods and models, Artificial intelligence is
considered as one of the most reliable and adequate approaches.
