Generalised Fuzzy Hidden Markov Models for Speech Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A generalised fuzzy approach to statistical modelling techniques for speech recognition is proposed in this paper. Fuzzy C-means (FCM) and fuzzy entropy (FE) techniques are combined into a generalised fuzzy technique and applied to hidden Markov models (HMMs). A more robust version of the above fuzzy technique based on the noise clustering (NC) method is also proposed. Experimental results were performed on the TI46 speech data corpus. A significant result for isolatedword recognition performed on a highly confusable vocabulary consisting of the nine English E-set words is that, a 33.8% recognition error rate for the HMM-based system was reduced to 30.5%, 29.9%, 29.8% and 27.8%, respectively, by using the FCM-HMM, the FE-HMM, the NC-FE-HMM, and the NC-FCM-HMM-based systems.

Hidden Markov models using fuzzy estimation
In the conventional hidden Markov model, the model parameters are reestimated by an iterative procedure known as the Baum-Welch method. This paper proposes an alternative procedure using fuzzy estimation, which is generalised from the fuzzy c-means and the BaumWelch methods. An extension of this approach, which uses a garbage state to deal with outlier data is also proposed. Experiments using t...
متن کاملFuzzy entropy hidden Markov models for speech recognition
A new fuzzy technique called fuzzy entropy (FE) clustering is proposed and applied to hidden Markov models (HMMs) for speech recognition. FE-HMMs, both discrete and continuous, are proposed in this paper. Experimental results in speech recognition show good results for FE models compared with fuzzy C-means and conventional models.

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...
