Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The language specific to a certain region is called a dialect, and the task of identifying which dialect the input speech is called dialect identification.
Many of the speech recognition models are made up of standard languages, and it is known that the recognition performance is greatly reduced when using the model to recognize speech including dialects.
One way to solve this problem is to use dialect information for learning and prepare a model that can identify both standard and dialects.
Dialect identification to decide which recognizer to use for input speech is important.
Also, if the accuracy of dialect identification is very high, improving the speech recognition system can be expected by optimizing the language model from the dialect-specific information, so improving the accuracy of the dialect identification model is an important task.
In this study, we used a neural network as a model for dialect identification, and used a framework called End-to-End, which has been widely used in recent years.
In the experiment, the performance of the discrimination model for dialects in six regions, Aomori, Hiroshima, Kumamoto, Nagoya, Sapporo, and Sendai, was investigated and analyzed using a sequential classification neural network with various parameters.
