Abstract A modified Viterbi scoring procedure is presented in this paper based on Dijkstra’s shortest-path algorithm. In HMM-based speech recognition systems, the Viterbi scoring plays a significant role in finding the best matching model, but its computational complexity is linearly proportional to the number of reference models and their states. Therefore, the complexity is serious in implementing a high-speed speech recognition system. In the proposed method, the Viterbi scoring is translated into the searching of a minimum path, and the shortest-path algorithm is exploited to decrease the computational complexity while preventing the recognition accuracy from deteriorating. In addition, a two-phase comparison… More >

Abstract In the field of medical informatics, sleep staging is a challenging and timeconsuming task undertaken by sleep experts. According to the new standard of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the stages of sleep are divided into wakefulness (W), rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) which includes three sleep stages (N1, N2 and N3) that describe the depth of sleep. This study aims to establish an automatic sleep staging algorithm based on the improved weighted random forest (WRF) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) using only the features extracted from double-channel EEG signals. The WRF classification model… More >

Abstract In order to solve the problem that real-time face recognition is susceptible to illumination changes, this paper proposes a face recognition method that combines Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and Embedded Hidden Markov Model (EHMM). Face recognition method. The method firstly performs LBP preprocessing on the input face image, then extracts the feature vector, and finally sends the extracted feature observation vector to the EHMM for training or recognition. Experiments on multiple face databases show that the proposed algorithm is robust to illumination and improves recognition rate. More >
