Abstract
This paper describes a framework for phonological concept formation, which is the task of acquiring an efficient representation of phonemes from spoken word samples without using any transcriptions except for the identification of the words. The phoneme models are represented as networks of segments, each of which forms a compact, distribution of spectral features. We call this representation a phonological concept The learning process is performed by searching in a hypotheses space for which each hypothesis is produced by modifying a set of phoneme models. This system potentially enables us to improve speech recognition performance.
