Recent advances in phonotactic language recognition using binary-decision trees
نویسنده
چکیده
Binary decision trees are an effective model structure in language recognition. This paper presents several related algorithmic steps to address data sparseness issues and computational complexity. In particular, a tree adaptation step, a recursive bottom-up smoothing step, and two variants of the Flip-Flop approximation algorithm are introduced to language detection and studied in the context of the NIST Language Recognition Evaluation task.

Advances in phonotactic language recognition
This paper summarizes recent advances in PRLM language recognition within the context of the NIST 2007 LR evaluations (LRE). We present a comparison of binary decision tree (BT) vs. N -gram models when adaptation from a universal (background) model (UBM) is used, we introduce multi-models— anchor-model-like approach to scoring, and we adopt the framework of intersession variation using factor a...
متن کاملPhonetic-context mapping in language identification
This paper deals with the problem of exploiting information from a wide phonetic context for the purpose of language identi cation. Two approaches to language modeling are presented here: 1) modi ed bigrams with a context-mapping matrix and 2) language models based on binary decision trees. Both models were incorporated in a phonotactic language identi er with a double-bigram decoding architect...
متن کاملRescoring multiple pronunciations generated from spelled words
Building on earlier work [2], we show how a set of binary decision trees grown by means of the Gelfand-Ravishankar-Delp algorithm [8] can be trained to generate an ordered list of possible pronunciations from a spelled word. Training is carried out on a database consisting of spelled words paired with their pronunciations (in a particular language). We show how phonotactic information can be le...
متن کاملUrban Vegetation Recognition Based on the Decision Level Fusion of Hyperspectral and Lidar Data
Introduction: Information about vegetation cover and their health has always been interesting to ecologists due to its importance in terms of habitat, energy production and other important characteristics of plants on the earth planet. Nowadays, developments in remote sensing technologies caused more remotely sensed data accessible to researchers. The combination of these data improves the obje...
متن کاملFacial Expression Recognition Based on Structural Changes in Facial Skin
Facial expressions are the most powerful and direct means of presenting human emotions and feelings and offer a window into a persons’ state of mind. In recent years, the study of facial expression and recognition has gained prominence; as industry and services are keen on expanding on the potential advantages of facial recognition technology. As machine vision and artificial intelligence advan...
