| Abstract(in English) | We have attempted to automatically classify the Japanese 23 phonemes (extracted from the isolated mono-syllables) hierarchically by using Hidden Markov models (HMM). For extracting the phonemes we have considered four different types of segmentation algorithms, viz., MDS, MMDS, MLS, and LB. Additionally we have imposed some kind of linear weighting on the discrete probability density function of HMM. The results show that classification efficiency is comparatively better for MMDS and weighting improves the efficiency by 21% for the training data and by 8.5% for the testing data. |
