Lvq as a Feature Transformation for Hmms
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new way to take advantage of the dis-criminative power of Learning Vector Quantization in combination with continuous density hidden Markov models. This is based on viewing LVQ as a non-linear feature transformation. Class-wise quantization errors of LVQ are modeled by continuous density HMMs, whereas the practice in the literature regarding LVQ/HMM hybrids is to use LVQ-codebooks as frame label-ers and discrete observation HMMs to model a stream of such labels. As decision making at frame level is suboptimal for speech recognition, the presented method is able to preserve more information for the HMM stage. Experiments in both speaker dependent and speaker independent phoneme spotting tasks suggest that signiicant improvements are attainable over plain continuous density HMMs, or over the hybrid of LVQ and discrete HMMs.

New Ways to Use Lvq - Codebookstogether with Hidden Markov
We introduce a novel way to employ codebooks trained by Learning Vector Quantization together with hidden Markov models. In previous work, LVQ-codebooks have been used as frame labelers. The resulting label stream has been modeled and decoded by discrete observation HMMs. We present a way to extract more information out of the LVQ stage. This is accomplished by modeling the class-wise quantizat...

A new method based on principal component analysis (PCA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) is proposed for fault diagnosis of gearboxes. Firstly the six different base wavelets are considered, in which three are from real valued and other three from complex valued. Two wavelet selection criteria Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ratio and Maximum Relative Wavelet Energy are used and compared...

Discriminative methods are used for increasing pattern recognition and classification accuracy. These methods can be used as discriminant transformations applied to features or they can be used as discriminative learning algorithms for the classifiers. Usually, discriminative transformations criteria are different from the criteria of discriminant classifiers training or their error. In this ...
