چکیده

This paper investigates a number of ensemble methods for improving the performance of phoneme classification for use in a speech recognition system. Two ensemble methods are described; boosting and mixtures of experts, both in isolation and in combination. Results are presented on two speech recognition databases: an isolated word database and a large vocabulary continuous speech database. These results show that principled ensemble methods such as boosting and mixtures provide superior performance to more naive ensemble methods such as averaging .

Phoneme Classification Using Temporal Tracking of Speech Clusters in Spectro-temporal Domain

This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...

Optimum Ensemble Classification for Fully Polarimetric SAR Data Using Global-Local Classification Approach

In this paper, a proposed ensemble classification for fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data using a global-local classification approach is presented. In the first step, to perform the global classification, the training feature space is divided into a specified number of clusters. In the next step to carry out the local classification over each of these clusters, which cont...
