• Abstract: This paper is an extension of our previous conference paper. In recent years, there has been a growing interest among researchers in developing and improving speech recognition systems to facilitate and enhance human-computer interaction. Today, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have become ubiquitous, used in everything from games to translation systems, robots, and more. However, much research is still needed on speech recognition systems for low-resource languages. This article focuses on the recognition of individual words in the Dari language using the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) feature extraction method and three different deep neural network models: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), as well as two hybrid models combining CNN and RNN. We evaluate these models using an isolated Dari word corpus that we have created, consisting of 1000 utterances for 20 short Dari terms. Our study achieved an impressive average accuracy of 98.365%.

  Formal language theory pertains specifically to recognizers. It is common to instead use proxy tasks that are similar in only an informal sense. We correct this mismatch by training and evaluating neural networks directly as binary classifiers of strings.
