Phoneme Recognition on the TIMIT Database
Carla Lopes,Fernando Perdigão +1 more
TL;DR: Speech recognition based on phones is very attractive since it is inherently free from vocabulary limitations, but large Vocabulary ASR systems’ performance depends on the quality of the phone recognizer, so research teams continue developing phone recognizers, in order to enhance their performance as much as possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic defects classification — a contribution
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a defect classification method using the pulse-echo technique for composite materials using brass, copper, steel, and polystyrene reflectors with water as a matrix material.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-Vivo Automatic Nuclear Cataract Detection and Classification in an Animal Model by Ultrasounds
TL;DR: The developed methodology made possible detecting the nuclear cataract in-vivo in early stages, classifying automatically its severity degree and estimating its hardness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic Cataract Classification based on Ultrasound Technique Using Machine Learning: A comparative Study
Miguel Caxinha,Elena Velte,Mário Santos,Fernando Perdigão,Joao Amaro,Marco Gomes,Jaime B. Santos +6 more
TL;DR: The classification of healthy and cataractous lenses shows a good performance for the four classifiers with SVM showing the highest performance for initial versus severe cataracts classification.
Characterization of Hesitations Using Acoustic Models.
TL;DR: The preliminary results suggest that there are regular trends in the production of these hesitation events, which could distinguish them from other events within the structure of Portuguese, and improve acoustic modeling for spontaneous speech recognition systems.
