    Two types of examples are being demonstarted in DL based End to end speech recognition. Phoneme recognition and character level recognition,
    Is there any advantage of phoneme recognition over character recognition

      Its iffy.

      Spelling to pronunciation rules can be very arcane in most languages,
      and you end up using much of the capacity of your network to capture
      these oddities. So in that sense, phoneme recognition is the more
      natural task.

      By the same token, though, the spelling oddities, if well captured,
      can end up providing you with a stronger grammar than just phonetic
      structure.

      I expect someone has run the comparison, although I haven't seen any
      myself. Perhaps I can have Vishal run this test; he's currently
      obtaining ~10% CER on WSJ
