Language Recognition via Sparse Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spoken language recognition requires a series of signal processing steps and learning algorithms to model distinguishing characteristics of different languages. In this paper, we present a sparse discriminative feature learning framework for language recognition. We use sparse coding, an unsupervised method, to compute efficient representations for spectral features from a speech utterance while learning basis vectors for language models. Differentiated from existing approaches in sparse representation classification, we introduce a maximum a posteriori (MAP) adaptation scheme based on online learning that further optimizes the discriminative quality of sparse-coded speech features. We empirically validate the effectiveness of our approach using the NIST LRE 2015 dataset.

Face Recognition using an Affine Sparse Coding approach
Sparse coding is an unsupervised method which learns a set of over-complete bases to represent data such as image and video. Sparse coding has increasing attraction for image classification applications in recent years. But in the cases where we have some similar images from different classes, such as face recognition applications, different images may be classified into the same class, and hen...

متن کاملImage Classification via Sparse Representation and Subspace Alignment
Image representation is a crucial problem in image processing where there exist many low-level representations of image, i.e., SIFT, HOG and so on. But there is a missing link across low-level and high-level semantic representations. In fact, traditional machine learning approaches, e.g., non-negative matrix factorization, sparse representation and principle component analysis are employed to d...
متن کاملContinuous speech recognition with sparse coding
Sparse coding is an efficient way of coding information. In a sparse code most of the code elements are zero; very few are active. Sparse codes are intended to correspond to the spike trains with which biological neurons communicate. In this article, we show how sparse codes can be used to do continuous speech recognition. We use the TIDIGITS dataset to illustrate the process. First a waveform ...
