Distance measure between Gaussian distributions for discriminating speaking styles

Discriminating speaking styles is an important issue in speech recognition, speaker recognition and speaker segmentation. This paper compares distance measures between Gaussian distributions for discriminating speaking styles. The Mahalanobis distance, the Bhattacharyya distance and the Kullback-Leibler divergence, which are in common use for a definition as a distance measure between Gaussian ...

On the best finite set of linear observables for discriminating two Gaussian signals

Consider the problem of discriminating two Gaussian signals by using only a finite number of linear observables. How to choose the set of R observables to minimize the error probability P, is a difficult problem. Because H, the Helliiger integral, and Hz form an upper and a lower bound for P,, we minimize H instead. We find that the set of observables that minimizes H is a set of coefficients o...

Gaussian Processes for Signal Strength-Based Location Estimation

Estimating the location of a mobile device or a robot from wireless signal strength has become an area of highly active research. The key problem in this context stems from the complexity of how signals propagate through space, especially in the presence of obstacles such as buildings, walls or people. In this paper we show how Gaussian processes can be used to generate a likelihood model for s...

Discriminating copper geochemical anomalies and assessment of their reliability using a combination of sequential Gaussian simulation and gap statistic methods in Hararan area, Kerman, Iran

In geochemical exploration, there are various techniques such as univariate and multivariate statistical methods available for recognition of anomalous areas. Univariate techniques are usually utilized to estimate the threshold value, which is the smallest quantity among the values representing the anomalous areas. In this work, a combination of the Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) and Gap ...
