Discriminative Training of Subspace Gaussian Mixture Model for Pattern Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) has been widely used in pattern recognition problems for clustering and probability density estimation. For pattern classification, however, the GMM has to consider two issues: model structure in high-dimensional space and discriminative training for optimizing the decision boundary. In this paper, we propose a classification method using subspace GMM density model and discriminative training. During discriminative training under the minimum classification error (MCE) criterion, both the GMM parameters and the subspace parameters are optimized discriminatively. Our experimental results on the MNIST handwritten digit data and UCI datasets demonstrate the superior classification performance of the proposed method.

Negative Selection Based Data Classification with Flexible Boundaries
One of the most important artificial immune algorithms is negative selection algorithm, which is an anomaly detection and pattern recognition technique; however, recent research has shown the successful application of this algorithm in data classification. Most of the negative selection methods consider deterministic boundaries to distinguish between self and non-self-spaces. In this paper, two...

متن کاملSpherical Discriminant Analysis in Semi-supervised Speaker Clustering
Semi-supervised speaker clustering refers to the use of our prior knowledge of speakers in general to assist the unsupervised speaker clustering process. In the form of an independent training set, the prior knowledge helps us learn a speaker-discriminative feature transformation, a universal speaker prior model, and a discriminative speaker subspace, or equivalently a speaker-discriminative di...
متن کاملMinimum Classification Error Training of Hidden Markov Models for Sequential Data in the Wavelet Domain
In the last years there has been increasing interest in developing discriminative training methods for hidden Markov models, with the aim to improve their performance in classification and pattern recognition tasks. Although several advances have been made in this area, they have been targeted almost exclusively to standard models whose conditional observations are given by a Gaussian mixture d...
