چکیده

In the conventional hidden Markov model, the model parameters are reestimated by an iterative procedure known as the Baum-Welch method. This paper proposes an alternative procedure using fuzzy estimation, which is generalised from the fuzzy c-means and the BaumWelch methods. An extension of this approach, which uses a garbage state to deal with outlier data is also proposed. Experiments using the TI46 speech data corpus show this approach can be applicable to speech and speaker recognition.

Fuzzy Evolutionary Programming for Hidden Markov Modelling in Speaker Identification

Gibbs distribution is used to represent fuzzy codebooks of individual speakers. The method of fuzzy evolutionary programming is employed to create the fuzzy codebooks and also to train hidden Markov models of speakers. This method increases the chance of attaining global maxima in Baum-Welch algorithm for hidden Markov model re-estimation. The experiments show the results of speaker identificat...

MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION SYSTEM FOR SUBJECT INDEPENDENT SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION USING FUZZY HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...

Introducing Busy Customer Portfolio Using Hidden Markov Model

Due to the effective role of Markov models in customer relationship management (CRM), there is a lack of comprehensive literature review which contains all related literatures. In this paper the focus is on academic databases to find all the articles that had been published in 2011 and earlier. One hundred articles were identified and reviewed to find direct relevance for applying Markov models...
