Abstract

A voice recognition apparatus capable of recognizing any word utterance by using a neural network, the apparatus includes a unit for inputting an input utterance and for outputting compressed feature variables of the input utterance a unit using a neural network and connected to the input unit for receiving the compressed feature variables output from the input unit and for outputting a value corresponding to a similarity between the input utterance and words to be recognized. The neural network unit has a first unit for outputting a value which corresponds to a similarity in partial phoneme series of a specific word among vocabularies to be recognized with respect to the input utterance. The neural network also has a second unit connected to the first unit for receiving all of the values output from the first unit and for outputting a value corresponding to a similarity in the specific word with respect to the input utterance. And the neural network also has a third unit connected to the second unit for receiving all of the values output from the second unit and for outputting a value corresponding to a classification of voice recognition in which the input utterance belongs.
