Directed graphical models of classifier combination: application to phone recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Classifier combination is a technique that often provides appreciable accuracy gains. In this paper, we argue that the underlying statistical model of classifier combination should be made explicit. Using directed graphical models (DGMs), we provide representations of two common combination schemes, the mean and product rules. We also introduce new DGMs that yield novel combination rules. We find that these new DGM-inspired rules can achieve significant accuracy gains on the TIMIT phone-classification task relative to existing combination schemes.

Representing 3D models in diverse fields have automatically paved the way of storing, indexing, classifying, and retrieving 3D objects. Classification and retrieval of 3D models demand that the 3D models represent in a way to capture the local and global shape specifications of the object. This requires establishing a 3D descriptor or signature that summarizes the pivotal shape properties of th...

The proposed method is to recognize objects based on application of Local Steering Kernels (LSK) as Descriptors to the image patches. In order to represent the local properties of the images, patch is to be extracted where the variations occur in an image. To find the interest point, Wavelet based Salient Point detector is used. Local Steering Kernel is then applied to the resultant pixels, in ...
