We built a language model which is based on Transformer network architecture, used attention mechanisms to dispensing with recurrence and convalutions entirely. Through the transliteration of Tibetan to International Phonetic Alphabets, the language model was trained using the syllables and phonemes of the Tibetan word as modeling units to predict corresponding Tibetan sentences according to the context semantics of IPA. And it combined with the acoustic model as the Tibetan speech recognition was compared with end-to-end Tibetan speech recognition.

Aim. To analyze the concept of “artificial intelligence”, to justify the effectiveness of using artificial intelligence technologies.Tasks. To study the conceptual apparatus; to propose and justify the author’s definition of the “artificial intelligence” concept; to describe the technology of speech recognition using artificial intelligence.Methodology. The authors used such general scientific methods of cognition as comparison, deduction and induction, analysis, generalization and systematization.Results. Based on a comparative analysis of the existing conceptual apparatus, it is concluded that there is no single concept of “artificial intelligence”. Each author puts his own vision into it. In this regard, the author’s definition of the “artificial intelligence” concept is formulated. It is determined that an important area of applying artificial intelligence technologies in various fields of activity is speech recognition technology. It is shown that the first commercially successful speech recognition prototypes appeared already by the 1990s, and since the beginning of the 21st century. The great interest in “end-to-end” automatic speech recognition has become obvious. While traditional phonetic approaches have requested pronunciation, acoustic, and language model data, end-to-end models simultaneously consider all components of speech recognition, thereby facilitating the stages of self-learning and development. It is established that a significant increase in the” mental “ capabilities of computer technology and the development of new algorithms have led to new achievements in this direction. These advances are driven by the growing demand for speech recognition.Conclusions. According to the authors, artificial intelligence is a complex of computer programs that duplicate the functions of the human brain, opening up the possibility of informal learning based on big data processing, allowing to solve the problems of pattern recognition (text, image, speech) and the formation of management decisions. Currently, the active development of information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence concepts has led to a wide practical application of intelligent technologies, especially in control systems. The impact of these systems can be found in the work of mobile phones and expert systems, in forecasting and other areas. Among the obstacles to the development of this technology is the lack of accuracy in speech and voice recognition systems in the conditions of sound interference, which is always present in the external environment. However, the recent advances overcome this disadvantage.

Problem: Classical systems of automatic speech recognition are traditionally built using an acoustic model based on hidden Markovmodels and a statistical language model. Such systems demonstrate high recognition accuracy, but consist of several independentcomplex parts, which can cause problems when building models. Recently, an end-to-end recognition method has been spread, usingdeep artificial neural networks. This approach makes it easy to implement models using just one neural network. End-to-end modelsoften demonstrate better performance in terms of speed and accuracy of speech recognition. Purpose: Implementation of end-toendmodels for the recognition of continuous Russian speech, their adjustment and comparison with hybrid base models in terms ofrecognition accuracy and computational characteristics, such as the speed of learning and decoding. Methods: Creating an encoderdecodermodel of speech recognition using an attention mechanism; applying techniques of stabilization and regularization of neuralnetworks; augmentation of data for training; using parts of words as an output of a neural network. Results: An encoder-decodermodel was obtained using an attention mechanism for recognizing continuous Russian speech without extracting features or usinga language model. As elements of the output sequence, we used parts of words from the training set. The resulting model could notsurpass the basic hybrid models, but surpassed the other baseline end-to-end models, both in recognition accuracy and in decoding/learning speed. The word recognition error was 24.17% and the decoding speed was 0.3 of the real time, which is 6% faster than thebaseline end-to-end model and 46% faster than the basic hybrid model. We showed that end-to-end models could work without languagemodels for the Russian language, while demonstrating a higher decoding speed than hybrid models. The resulting model was trained onraw data without extracting any features. We found that for the Russian language the hybrid type of an attention mechanism gives thebest result compared to location-based or context-based attention mechanisms. Practical relevance: The resulting models require lessmemory and less speech decoding time than the traditional hybrid models. That fact can allow them to be used locally on mobile deviceswithout using calculations on remote servers.

End-to-End deep learning approaches for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has been a new trend. In those approaches, starting active in many areas, language model can be considered as an important and effective method for semantic error correction. Many existing systems use one language model. In this paper, however, multiple language models (LMs) are applied into decoding. One LM is used for selecting appropriate answers and others, considering both context and grammar, for further decision. Experiment on a general location-based dataset show the effectiveness of our method.
