چکیده

In the tandem feature extraction scheme a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) with softmax output layer is discriminatively trained to estimate context independent phoneme posterior probabilities on a labeled database. The outputs of the MLP after nonlinear transformation and Principal ComponentAnalysis (PCA) are used as features in a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) based recognizer. The baseline tandem system is trained on 56 Context Independent (CI) phoneme targets. In this paper we examine alternatives to CI phoneme targets by grouping phonemes using apriori and and data-derived knowledge. On connected digit recognition task we achieve comparable performance to the baseline system using fewer data-derived classes.

کاهش ابعاد داده‌های ابرطیفی به منظور افزایش جدایی‌پذیری کلاس‌ها و حفظ ساختار داده

Hyperspectral imaging with gathering hundreds spectral bands from the surface of the Earth allows us to separate materials with similar spectrum. Hyperspectral images can be used in many applications such as land chemical and physical parameter estimation, classification, target detection, unmixing, and so on. Among these applications, classification is especially interested. A hyperspectral im...

تحلیل ممیز غیرپارامتریک بهبودیافته برای دسته‌بندی تصاویر ابرطیفی با نمونه آموزشی محدود

Feature extraction performs an important role in improving hyperspectral image classification. Compared with parametric methods, nonparametric feature extraction methods have better performance when classes have no normal distribution. Besides, these methods can extract more features than what parametric feature extraction methods do. Nonparametric feature extraction methods use nonparametric s...

Solving the tandem AGV network design problem using tabu search: Cases of maximum workload and workload balance with fixed and non-fixed number of loops

A tandem AGV configuration connects all cells of a manufacturing area by means of non-overlapping, sin-gle-vehicle closed loops. Each loop has at least one additional P/D station, provided as an interface between adjacent loops. This study describes the development of three tabu search algorithms for the design of tandem AGV systems. The first algorithm was developed based on the basic definiti...

Overlap-based feature weighting: The feature extraction of Hyperspectral remote sensing imagery

Hyperspectral sensors provide a large number of spectral bands. This massive and complex data structure of hyperspectral images presents a challenge to traditional data processing techniques. Therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral images without losing important information is a very important issue for the remote sensing community. We propose to use overlap-based feature weigh...

Fast SFFS-Based Algorithm for Feature Selection in Biomedical Datasets

Biomedical datasets usually include a large number of features relative to the number of samples. However, some data dimensions may be less relevant or even irrelevant to the output class. Selection of an optimal subset of features is critical, not only to reduce the processing cost but also to improve the classification results. To this end, this paper presents a hybrid method of filter and wr...
