So I took a class of introduction in AI and machine learning and I have to implement a MLP for speech recognition without any Library that implement the MLP for me. (I.e. I can use numpy)

Any help would be useful!!

MLP for speech recognition probably isn't a great solution, but if it's for a class and you can only use numpy start here: https://towardsdatascience.com/coding-a-neural-network-from-scratch-in-numpy-31f04e4d605

Thanks for that link!! But out of curiosity, what would you use instead of a MLP?

If you’re only detecting speech, that is doable with heuristics and some napkin math, or an MLP, for simple cases. However, “detect speech in this audio” is rarely the end of the story in the real world. Next up comes transcription, sentiment analysis, tonal feature flagging, etc. all of which are currently dominated by Transformers. You’ll also see some great work in the RNN space, but Transformer-based architectures are king right now.

Some models for inspiration, https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=automatic-speech-recognition&sort=downloads

Thanks!! I really appreciate. I really like the ai world and if it's not too much to ask, if you have anything else you would recommend me to go further I would appreciate it. Again thanks!!

Check out the WaveNet paper for some ideas about this!

Use scikit learn mlp classifier if you have to use mlp.
