Comparing Gaussian and Polynomial Classi cation in SCHMM-Based Recognition Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Semi-continuous Hidden Markov Models (SCHMM) with gaussian distributions are often used in continuous speech or handwriting recognition systems. Our paper compares gaussian and tree-structured polynomial classi ers which have been successfully used in pattern recognition since many years. In our system the binary classi er tree is generated by clustering HMM states using an entropy measure. For handwriting recognition, gaussians are clearly outperformed by polynomial classi cation. However, for speech recognition, polynomial classi cation currently performs slightly worse because some system parameters are not yet optimized.

متن کاملRobust audiovisual integration using semicontinuous hidden Markov models
We describe an improved method of integrating audio and visual information in a HMM-based audiovisual ASR system. The method uses a modi ed semicontinuous HMM (SCHMM) for integration and recognition. Our results show substantial improvements over earlier integration methods at high noise levels. Our integration method relies on the assumption that, as environmental conditions deviate from those...
متن کاملFirst order Gaussian graphs for e#cient structure classi$cation
First order random graphs as introduced by Wong are a promising tool for structure-based classi$cation. Their complexity, however, hampers their practical application. We describe an extension to $rst order random graphs which uses continuous Gaussian distributions to model the densities of all random elements in a random graph. These First Order Gaussian Graphs (FOGGs) are shown to have severa...
متن کاملDictionary-based discriminative HMM parameter estimation for continuous speech recognition systems
The estimation of the HMM parameters has always been a major issue in the design of speech recognition systems. Discriminative objectives like Maximum Mutual Information (MMI) or Minimum Classi cation Error (MCE) have proved to be superior over the common Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) in cases where a robust estimation of the probabilistic density functions (pdfs) is not possible. The det...
متن کاملA Hybrid Approach Based on Higher Order Spectra for Clinical Recognition of Seizure and Epilepsy Using Brain Activity
Introduction: This paper proposes a reliable and efficient technique to recognize different epilepsy states, including healthy, interictal, and ictal states, using Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Methods: The proposed approach consists of pre-processing, feature extraction by higher order spectra, feature normalization, feature selection by genetic algorithm and ranking method, and classif...
