# An Infinite-Connected Words Recognition System for Male Speakers Using Time-Space Dynamic Programming

Ryu-ichi Oka

*Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*.

## Abstract

A new algorithm of pattern matching for time-space speech feature using Dynamic Programming is proposed for recognizing infinite-connected words spoken by male speakers without adaptation of speakers before the utterance. The new algorithm carries out frame-~isely two kinds of normalizations : the time normalization for removing speed variat1on of speech and the space normalization for removing speaker-dependence. This algo:ithm is realizable by a simple cellular automaton. The recognition rate 85.7% is obta1ned for 50 categories, h male speakers and 1140 samples (connected words).
