Abstract
Interaural head related transfer functions are used to process speech signatures prior to neural net based recognition. Data representing the head related transfer function of a dummy has been collected at MIT and made available on the Internet. This data is used to pre-process vowel signatures to mimic the effects of human ear on speech perception. Signatures representing various vowels of the English language are then presented to a multi-layer perceptron trained using the back propagation algorithm for recognition purposes. The focus in this paper is to assess the effects of human interaural system on vowel recognition performance particularly when using a classification system that mimics the human brain such as a neural net.
