In this paper, we present an efficient VLSI architecture for the stand-alone application of a speech recognition system based on discriminative Bayesian neural network(DBNN). Regarding the recognition phase, the architecture of the Bayesian distance unit (BDU) is constructed first. In association with the BDU, we propose a template-serial architecture for the path distance accumulation to perform the recognition procedure. A corresponding architecture is also developed to accelerate the discriminative training procedure. It contains the intelligent look-up table for the sigmoid function. In comparison to the traditional one-table method, the memory size reduces drastically with only slight loss of accuracy. Combining the proposed hardware accelerators with the cost efficient programmable core, we took the most out of both programmable and application-specific architectures, including performance, design complexity, and flexibility.
