چکیده

In this paper, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is investigated with respect to the combination of different acoustic features for automatic speech recognition. It is shown that the combination of acoustic features using LDA does not consistently lead to improvements in word error rate. A detailed analysis of the recognition results on the Verbmobil (VM II) and on the English portion of the European Parliament Plenary Sessions (EPPS) corpus is given. This includes an independent analysis of the effect of the dimension of the input to LDA, the effect of strongly correlated input features, as well as a detailed numerical analysis of the generalized eigenvalue problem underlying LDA. Relative improvements in word error rate of up to 5% were observed for LDA-based combination of multiple acoustic features.

Proposed new signal for real-time stress monitoring: Combination of physiological measures

Human stress is a physiological tension that appears when a person responds to mental, emotional, or physical chal-lenges. Detecting human stress and developing methods to manage it, has become an important issue nowadays. Au-tomatic stress detection through physiological signals may be a useful method for solving this problem. In most of the earlier studies, long-term time window was considere...

Feature transformations and combinations for improving ASR performance

In this work, linear and nonlinear feature transformations have been experimented in ASR front end. Unsupervised transformations were based on principal component analysis and independent component analysis. Discriminative transformations were based on linear discriminant analysis and multilayer perceptron networks. The acoustic models were trained using a subset of HUB5 training data and they ...

A Novel Method for Content Base Image Retrieval Using Combination of Local and Global Features

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...
