Fault Classification in Cylinders Using Multilayer Perceptrons, Support Vector Machines and Guassian Mixture Models

Gaussian mixture models (GMM) and support vector machines (SVM) are introduced to classify faults in a population of cylindrical shells. The proposed procedures are tested on a population of 20 cylindrical shells and their performance is compared to the procedure, which uses multi-layer perceptrons (MLP). The modal properties extracted from vibration data are used to train the GMM, SVM and MLP....

Estimating the Number of Components in a Mixture of Multilayer Perceptrons

BIC criterion is widely used by the neural-network community for model selection tasks, although its convergence properties are not always theoretically established. In this paper we will focus on estimating the number of components in a mixture of multilayer perceptrons and proving the convergence of the BIC criterion in this frame. The penalized marginal-likelihood for mixture models and hidd...

Using out-of-language data to improve an under-resourced speech recognizer

Under-resourced speech recognizers may benefit from data in languages other than the target language. In this paper, we report how to boost the performance of an Afrikaans automatic speech recognition system by using already available Dutch data. We successfully exploit available multilingual resources through (1) posterior features, estimated by multilayer perceptrons (MLP) and (2) subspace Ga...

Incremental Learning of Auto-Association Multilayer Perceptrons Network

This paper introduces a new algorithm to reduce the time of updating the weights of auto-association multilayer perceptrons network. The basic idea is to modify the singular value decomposition which has been used in the batch algorithm to update the weights whenever a new row is added to the input matrix. The computation analysis and the experiments show that the new algorithm speeds up the im...
