Using presence signs to discriminate between similar species

Using Maximum Entropy Models to Discriminate between Similar Languages and Varieties

DSLRAE is a hierarchical classifier for similar written languages and varieties based on maximum-entropy (maxent) classifiers. In the first level, the text is classified into a language group using a simple token-based maxent classifier. At the second level, a group-specific maxent classifier is applied to classify the text as one of the languages or varieties within the previously identified g...

Neural Networks that Learn to Discriminate Similar Kanji Characters

A neural network is applied to the problem of recognizing Kanji characters. Using a b a c k propagation network learning algorithm. a threelayered. feed-forward network is trained to recognize similar handwritten Kanji characters. In addition. two new methods are utilized to make training effective. The recognition accuracy was higher than that of conventional methods. An analysis of connection...

Using Prosodic Information to Discriminate between Function and Content Words

Early perceptual processing capabilities are likely to contribute to the categorization of lexical vs. grammatical words by newborns. This lexical categorization could be performed by detecting differences in the prosodic structure of these word categories. We demonstrated that this lexical categorization could be performed using many prosodic cues (duration, F0, energy and formants) automatica...

Using acoustic sensors to discriminate between nasal and mouth breathing

The recommendation to change breathing patterns from the mouth to the nose can have a significantly positive impact upon the general well being of the individual. We classify nasal and mouth breathing by using an acoustic sensor and intelligent signal processing techniques. The overall purpose is to investigate the possibility of identifying the differences in patterns between nasal and mouth b...
