Acoustic Modelling

Acoustic modeling is the process of creating a mathematical representation of how sound is produced and transmitted, especially in speech recognition systems. It involves analyzing audio signals to identify patterns associated with different phonemes (basic units of sound). By understanding these patterns, acoustic models help software distinguish between words accurately, even in noisy environments. Essentially, they serve as the "ears" of speech recognition, translating sound waves into meaningful data that machines can interpret, improving the system’s ability to understand spoken language reliably.
