The model is syllable-based, where the recognition is performed through syllables as speech recognition units. The main goal of the model is to recognize as much as possible of a given continuous speech by identifying only a small set of syllables in the language. For that purpose, only the syllable types with a higher frequency are selected for the recognition. The use of longer recognition units in speech recognition systems increases the success of the recognition since it is easier to detect the endpoints of syllables when compared to phonemes. On the other side, word-based recognition requires a very large dataset that includes all the words and word forms in the language, which is also another challenge. Hereby, we take the advantage of Turkish being an ortographically transparent and syllabified language. Our model employs time delay neural networks (TDNNs) for learning syllables. We achieve an accuracy of %65.6 on our large vocabulary continuous speech corpus. In addition, we define an algorithm for the automatic detection of syllable boundaries which gives an accuracy of %44. The automatic syllable boundary detection module is used for the recognition of isolated syllables rather than a continuous speech.","PeriodicalId":315126,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition (SoCPaR)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134016367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the search process, the population is periodically ranked to change the topology of neighbors. Experimental studies are conducted on a comprehensive set of benchmark functions.

Then, the CTFP_VM (Variance-Mean based on CTFP) feature selection criterion is introduced to reveal the category distribution difference. After computing and ranking the variance mean based on CTFP distribution for each term, feature sets are obtained for document categorization. We perform the document categorization experiments on SVM classifiers with the well-known Reuters-21578 and 20 news-18828 corpuses as unbalanced and balanced corpus respectively. Experiments compare the novel methods with other conventional feature selection algorithms and the proposed method achieves the best feature set for document categorization The experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed variance mean feature selection method base on CTFP not only has better Fl-metric for document categorization but excellent corpus adaptability.","PeriodicalId":315126,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition (SoCPaR)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134502384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present a study on the task of recommending, for a given user, a short list of suitable forum posts for commenting. We propose a collaborative filtering method which exploits the co-commenting patterns of the users to generate recommendations, and compare the method with traditional content-based filtering approaches. Experimental results on two types of forums show that the proposed collaborative filtering method achieved substantial improvements in terms of accuracy over a baseline and the content-based filtering methods.

The proposed method is rigorously evaluated on a dataset containing 144 falls and other activities of daily living (which produces significant noise for fall detection). Results shows that falls could be detected with 91.9% precision and 94.4% recall.

We also based on the sets of synonym and antonym to identify, recognize, and establish a list of coordinated compound words (coordinated di-syllable phrases). We have used a number of rules to identify 3 or 4 syllable phrases/idioms based on relations of coordinated di-syllable phrases. We carried out two major experiments: one for identifying and creating a list of coordinated compounds, the other for improving the accuracy of Vietnamese word segmentation. The second experiment showed that the word segmentation F-scores increases from 0.11% to 0.41% (the error rate decreases from 3.32% to 12.6%).

It is made up of techniques that aim at extracting information from shape images via human knowledge and works. The descriptors need to have strong Local Binary Pattern (LBP) in order to encode the information distinguishing them. Local Binary Pattern (LBP) ensures encoding global and local information and scaling invariance by introducing a look-up table to reflect the uniformity structure of an object. It is needed as the edge direction matrices (EDMS) only apply global invariant descriptor which employs first and secondary order relationships. The main objective of this paper is the need of improved recognition capabilities which achieved by the combining LBP and EDMS. Working together, these two descriptors will add advantages to the program and enable the researcher to investigate the weaknesses of each one. Two classifiers are used: multi-layer neural network and random forest. The techniques used in this paper are compared with Gray-Level Co-occurrence matrices (GLCM-EDMS) and Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) by using two benchmark dataset: MPEG-7 CE-Shape-1 for shape and Arabic calligraphy for texture.
