Multi-view learning of acoustic features for speaker recognition

by Karen Livescu, Mark Stoehr - in ASRU , 2009
"... Abstract—We consider learning acoustic feature transformations using an additional view of the data, in this case video of the speaker’s face. Specifically, we consider a scenario in which clean audio and video is available at training time, while at test time only noisy audio is available. We use c ..."

with baseline MFCCs, outperform the baseline recognizer in noisy conditions. The techniques we present are quite general, although here we apply them to the case of a specific speaker recognition task. This is the first work of which we are aware in which multiple views are used to learn an acoustic feature

Face Recognition: A Literature Survey

by W. Zhao, R. Chellappa, P. J. Phillips, A. Rosenfeld , 2000
"... ... This paper provides an up-to-date critical survey of still- and video-based face recognition research. There are two underlying motivations for us to write this survey paper: the first is to provide an up-to-date review of the existing literature, and the second is to offer some insights into ..."

Wrappers for Feature Subset Selection

by Ron Kohavi, George H. John - AIJ SPECIAL ISSUE ON RELEVANCE , 1997
"... In the feature subset selection problem, a learning algorithm is faced with the problem of selecting a relevant subset of features upon which to focus its attention, while ignoring the rest. To achieve the best possible performance with a particular learning algorithm on a particular training set, a ..."

Irrelevant Features and the Subset Selection Problem

by George H. John, Ron Kohavi, Karl Pfleger - MACHINE LEARNING: PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL , 1994
"... We address the problem of finding a subset of features that allows a supervised induction algorithm to induce small high-accuracy concepts. We examine notions of relevance and irrelevance, and show that the definitions used in the machine learning literature do not adequately partition the features ..."

Comparison of parametric representations for monosyllabic word recognition in continuously spoken sentences

by Steven B. Davis, Paul Mermelstein - ACOUSTICS, SPEECH AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON , 1980
"... Several parametric representations of the acoustic signal were compared as to word recognition performance in a syllable-oriented continuous speech recognition system. The vocabulary in-cluded many phonetically similar monosyllabic words, therefore the emphasis was on ability to retain phonetically ..."

Maximum Likelihood Linear Transformations for HMM-Based Speech Recognition

by M.J.F. Gales - Computer Speech and Language , 1998
"... This paper examines the application of linear transformations for speaker and environmental adaptation in an HMM-based speech recognition system. In particular, transformations that are trained in a maximum likelihood sense on adaptation data are investigated. Other than in the form of a simple bias ..."

Local features and kernels for classification of texture and object categories: a comprehensive study

by J. Zhang, S. Lazebnik, C. Schmid - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2007
"... Recently, methods based on local image features have shown promise for texture and object recognition tasks. This paper presents a large-scale evaluation of an approach that represents images as distributions (signatures or histograms) of features extracted from a sparse set of keypoint locations an ..."

The pyramid match kernel: Discriminative classification with sets of image features

by Kristen Grauman, Trevor Darrell - IN ICCV , 2005
"... Discriminative learning is challenging when examples are sets of features, and the sets vary in cardinality and lack any sort of meaningful ordering. Kernel-based classification methods can learn complex decision boundaries, but a kernel over unordered set inputs must somehow solve for correspondenc ..."

Reinforcement Learning I: Introduction

by Richard S. Sutton, Andrew G. Barto , 1998
"... In which we try to give a basic intuitive sense of what reinforcement learning is and how it differs and relates to other fields, e.g., supervised learning and neural networks, genetic algorithms and artificial life, control theory. Intuitively, RL is trial and error (variation and selection, search ..."

Locally weighted learning
