Speech is the fundamental way of communicating with one another. It simply refers to transmission of messages. In case of speech production the information is transmitted in the form of analog waveform that can be transmitted, recorded or decoded. A number of algorithms for speech recognition have been proposed. In this paper, we have suggested an innovative approach of speech recognition. We have initially stored some voice in the database where the same speaker has told different words. Then we have inputted a sample voice of the same person through the microphone where he is speaking a specific word which is already stored in the database. We have performed the task of similar word recognition by finding the gray scale image and histogram plot of inputted word and finally we have used the correlation coefficient for making comparison between two words.
Lots of research has been carried out globally to design a machine classifier which could predict it from some physical and bio-medical parameters. In this work a hybrid machine learning classifier has been proposed to design an artificial predictor to correctly classify diabetic and non-diabetic people. The classifier is an amalgamation of the widely used K-means algorithm and Gravitational search algorithm (GSA). GSA has been used as an optimization tool which will compute the best centroids from the two classes of training data; the positive class (who are diabetic) and negative class (who are non-diabetic). In K-means algorithm instead of using random samples as initial cluster head, the optimized centroids from GSA are used as the cluster centers. The inherent problem associated with k-means algorithm is the initial placement of cluster centers, which may cause convergence delay thereby degrading the overall performance. This problem is tried to overcome by using a combined GSA and K-means.
The paper contains an extensive experimental study which focuses on a major idea on Target Optimization (TO) prior to the training process of artificial machines. Generally, during training process of an artificial machine, output is computed from two important parameters i.e. input and target. In general practice input is taken from the training data and target is randomly chosen, which may not be relevant to the corresponding training data. Hence, the overall training of the neural network becomes inefficient. The present study tries to put forward TO as an efficient methodology which may be helpful in addressing the said problem. The proposed work tries to implement the concept of TO and compares the outcomes with the conventional classifiers. In this regard, different benchmark data sets are used to compare the effect of TO on data classification by using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) optimization techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
