Abstract

This paper considers end-to-end speech recognition systems based on deep neural networks (DNN). The studies used different types of neural networks, CTC model and attention-based encoder-decoder models. As a result of the study, it was proved that the CTC model works without language models directly for agglutinative languages, but the best is ResNet with 11.52% of CER and 19.57% of WER of using the language model. An experiment with the BLSTM neural network using the attention-based encoder-decoder models showed 8.01% of CER of and 17.91% of WER. Using the experiment, it was proved that without integrating language models, good results can be achieved. The best result showed ResNet.
