Was a model based on the idea of extracting a probabilistic map of the phonemes present in a particular speech sample and to then using that phoneme map as a feature set to predict the word.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The dataset provided consists of examples of 30 different words with one word appearing in each 1 second sample. Since there is no phonetic information provided other than which word is which the first step was to turn each word into a phonetic spelling.&lt;/p&gt;
