Class definition in discriminant feature analysis

چکیده
The aim of discriminant feature analysis techniques in the signal processing of speech recognition systems is to find a feature vector transformation which maps a high dimensional input vector onto a low dimensional vector while retaining a maximum amount of information in the feature vector to discriminate between predefined classes. This paper points out the significance of the definition of the classes in the discriminant feature analysis technique. Three choices for the definition of the classes are investigated: the phonemes, the states in context independent acoustic models and the tied states in context dependent acoustic models. These choices for the classes were applied to (1) standard LDA (linear discriminant analysis) for reference and to (2) MIDA, an improved, mutual information based discriminant analysis technique. Evaluation of the resulting linear feature transforms on a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition task shows, depending on the technique, the best choice for the classes.

Feature reduction of hyperspectral images: Discriminant analysis and the first principal component
When the number of training samples is limited, feature reduction plays an important role in classification of hyperspectral images. In this paper, we propose a supervised feature extraction method based on discriminant analysis (DA) which uses the first principal component (PC1) to weight the scatter matrices. The proposed method, called DA-PC1, copes with the small sample size problem and has...
متن کاملComparative Study of Linear Feature Transformation Techniques for Mandarin Digit String Recognition
Linear feature transformation technique is widely used to improve feature discriminability. It can reduce the dimensionality of the feature space, un-correlate the feature components, hence more discriminative model can be obtained. In this paper we compare three discriminative linear transformation approaches in Mandarin digit string recognition (MDSR) system. Compared with the conventional Li...

The primary goal of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) in face feature extraction is to find an effective subspace for identity discrimination. The introduction of kernel trick has extended the LDA to nonlinear decision hypersurface. However, there remained inherent limitations for the nonlinear LDA to deal with physical applications under complex environmental factors. These limitations includ...

In pattern recognition, feature extraction techniques have been widely employed to reduce the dimensionality of high-dimensional data. In this paper, we propose a novel feature extraction algorithm called membership-degree preserving discriminant analysis (MPDA) based on the fisher criterion and fuzzy set theory for face recognition. In the proposed algorithm, the membership degree of each samp...
