Abstract

In speech recognition, forward multi-layer neural networks are used as classifiers for phoneme recognizers, for speechparameterization, in language models, and for language or speaker recognition. This paper discusses possibilities oftraining forward multi-layer neural networks using parallel algorithms. The need for parallel training of neuralnetworks is caused by huge quantity of training data used in speech recognition. Synchronous and asynchronousvariants of the training are discussed and experimental results are reported on a real speech processing task.
