    Abstract

    Deep learning is the one of approaches of machine learning that uses algorithms for building a model based on complex unstructured data. The Muslims Holy Qur’an book is written using Arabic diacritized text. In this paper, a traditional method to build a robust Qur’an versus recognition is proposed. The MFCC is used to extract features. These features are adapted using minimum phone error (MPE) as a discriminative model. The acoustic model was built using the deep neural network (DNN) model. We present an n-gram language model (LM). The dataset of Qur’an verses is used for training and evaluating the proposed model, consisting of 10 hours of .wav recitations performed by 60 reciters. The Experimental results showed that the proposed DNN model achieved a significantly low character error rate (CER) of 4.09% and a word error rate (WER) of 8.46%.

    Keywords :
