In this paper, a codeword-dependent distance normalization(CDDN) and an instar-formed fuzzy smoothing of output distribution are proposed for robust estimation of output probabilities in the FVQ(fuzzy vector quantization)-DHMM(discrete hidden Markov model). The FVQ-DHMM is a variant of DHMM in which the state output probability is estimated by the sum oft he product of the output probability and its weighting factor for each codeword on an input vector. As the performance of the FVQ-DHMM is influenced by weighting factor and output distribution from a state, it is required to get a method to get robust estimation of weighting factors and output distribution for each state. From experimental results, the proposed CDDN method has reduced 24% of error rate over the conventional FVQ-DHMM, and also reduced 79% of error rate when the smoothing of output distribution is also applied to the computation of an output probability. These results indicate that the use of CDDN and the fuzzy smoothing of output distribution to the FVQ-DHMM lead to improved recognition, and therefore it may be used as an alternative to the robust estimation of output probabilities for HMMs.

This paper presents a new fuzzy learning rule which considers the Euclidean distances between the input vector and the prototypes of classes. The new fuzzy learning rule is integrated into the supervised IAFC neural network 4. This neural network is stable and plastic. We used iris data to compare the performance of the supervised IAFC neural network 4 with the performances of back propagation neural network and LVQ algorithm.

In this paper, a translation, rotation and scale invariant system for the recognition of closed 2-D images using the bispectrum of a contour sequence and a weighted fuzzy classifier is derived and compared with the recognition process using one of the competitive neural algorithm, called a LVQ( Loaming Vector Quantization). The bispectrum based on third order cumulants is applied to the contour sequences of an image to extract fifteen feature vectors for each planar image. These bispectral feature vectors, which are invariant to shape translation, rotation and scale transformation, can be used to the represent two-dimensional planar images and are fed into a weighted fuzzy classifier. The experimental processes with eight different shapes of aircraft images are presented to illustrate a relatively high performance of the proposed recognition system.

This paper describes a new iris recognition method based on a shift-invariant wavelet sub-images. For the feature representation, we first preprocess an iris image for the compensation of the variation of the iris and for the easy implementation of the wavelet transform. Then, we decompose the preprocessed iris image into multiple subband images using a shift-invariant wavelet transform. For feature representation, we select a set of subband images, which have rich information for the classification of various iris patterns and robust to noises. In order to reduce the size of the feature vector, we quantize. each pixel of subband images using the Lloyd-Max quantization method Each feature element is represented by one of quantization levels, and a set of these feature element is the feature vector. When the quantization is very coarse, the quantized level does not have much information about the image pixel value. Therefore, we define a new similarity measure based on mutual information between two features. With this similarity measure, the size of the feature vector can be reduced without much degradation of performance. Experimentally, we show that the proposed method produced superb performance in iris recognition.

This paper proposes a HMM-based recognition method using DMSVQ(Dynamic Multi-Section Vector Quantization) codebook by DMS(Dynamic Multi-Section) model and fuzzy concept, as a study for speaker- independent speech recognition. In this proposed recognition method, training data are divided into several dynamic section and multi-observation sequences which are given proper probabilities by fuzzy rule according to order of short distance from DMSVQ codebook per each section are obtained. Thereafter, the HMM using this multi-observation sequences is generated, and in case of recognition, a word that has the most highest probability is selected as a recognized word. Other experiments to compare with the results of recognition experiments using proposed method are implemented as a data by the various conventional recognition methods under the equivalent environment. Through the experiment results, it is proved that the proposed method in this study is superior to the conventional recognition methods.

Some of the feature vectors for speech recognition are rare and unusual. These patterns lead to overfitting for the parameters of the speech recognition system and, as a result, cause structural risks in the system that hinder the good performance in recognition. In this paper, as a method of removing these unusual patterns, we try to exclude vectors whose norms are larger than a specified cutoff value and then train the speech recognition system. The objective of this study is to exclude as many unusual feature vectors under the condition of no significant degradation in the speech recognition error rate. For this purpose, we introduce a cutoff parameter and investigate the resultant effect on the speaker-independent speech recognition of isolated words by using FVQ(Fuzzy Vector Quantization)/HMM(Hidden Markov Model). Experimental results showed that roughly 3%~6% of the feature vectors might be considered as unusual, and therefore be excluded without deteriorating the speech recognition accuracy.

본 논문에서는 LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization)을 퍼지화한 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙을 제안하였다. 퍼지 LVQ 학습 법칙 3은 기존의 학습률 대신에 퍼지 학습률을 사용하였는데, 기존의 LVQ와는 달리 비대칭인 학습률을 사용하였다. 기본의 LVQ에서는 분류가 맞거나 틀렸을 때 같은 학습률을 사용하고 부호만 달랐으나, 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙에서는 분류가 맞거나 틀렸을 때 부호가 다를 뿐만 아니라 학습률도 다르다. 이 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙을 무감독 신경회로망인 improved IAFC(Integrated Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering) 신경회로망에 적용하여 감독 신경회로망으로 변형하였다. Improved IAFC 신경회로망은 유연성이 있으면서도 안정성이 있다. 제안한 supervised IAFC 신경회로망 3의 성능과 오류 역전파 신경회로망의 성능을 비교하기 위하여 iris 데이터를 사용하였는데 Supervised IAFC 신경회로망 3가 오류 역전파 신경회로망보다 성능이 우수하였다.

To improve the recognition accuracy of a developed artificial odor discrimination system for three mixture fragrance recognition, Fuzzy Similarity based Self-Organized Network inspired by Immune Algorithm (F-SONIA) is proposed. Minimum, average, and maximum values of fragrance data acquisitions are used to form triangular fuzzy numbers. Then the fuzzy similarity treasure is used to define the relationship between fragrance inputs and connection strengths of hidden units. The fuzzy similarity is defined as the maximum value of the intersection region between triangular fuzzy set of input vectors and the connection strengths of hidden units. In experiments, performances of the proposed method is compared with the conventional Self-Organized Network inspired by Immune Algorithm (SONIA), and the Fuzzy Learning Vector Quantization (FLVQ). Experiments show that F-SONIA improves recognition accuracy of SONIA by 3-9％. Comparing to the previously developed artificial odor discrimination system that used FLVQ as pattern classifier, the recognition accuracy is increased by 14-25％.
