After the introduction to neural networks in the previous lecture this lecture was about using neural networks for acoustic modelling. The main idea of the lecture was to show how a neural network could be trained to be a phone classifier, and such a trained neural network phone classifier could be used to either (1) replace the GMM output distributions in an HMM system (the hybrid HMM/NN approach), or (2) be used to generate discriminative features either from the neural network outputs (tandem or posteriorgram features) or from a narrow hidden layer in the neural network (bottleneck features).
