Özet

This paper presents an application of the common vector approach (CVA), an approach mainly used for speech recognition problems when the number of data items exceeds the dimension of the feature vectors. The calculation of a unique common vector for each class involves the use of principal component analysis. CVA and other subspace methods are compared both theoretically and experimentally. TI-digit database is used in the experimental study to show the practical use of CVA for the isolated word recognition problems. It can be concluded that CVA results are higher in terms of recognition rates when compared with those of other subspace methods in training and test sets. It is also seen that the consideration of only within-class scatter in CVA gives better performance than considering both within- and between-class scatters in Fisher's linear discriminant analysis. The recognition rates obtained for CVA are also better than those obtained with the HMM method. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
