We present a combined features approach for speaker segmentation task. This approach utilizes different acoustic features extracted from audio stream. The Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is used for each acoustic feature as a distance measure to verify the merging of two audio segments. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) combines the time index from each ?BIC with the highest value, and estimates...
This paper presents an off-line signature verification system composed of a combination of several different classifiers. Identity authentication is a very important characteristics specially in systems that requires a high degree of security such as in bank transactions. In our experiments, one-class classifier was used to create a signature verification system, consequently only genuine signatures...
Classical feature extraction techniques, like PCA and LDA, do not deal properly with multimodal problems. Such techniques create projections that do not preserve the multimodal structure of the original data distribution. Locality Preserving Projection (LPP) is a feature extraction technique which looks for a transformation matrix that minimizes the changes into the structure of the data after the...
Time series forecasting is useful in many researches areas. The use of models that provide a reliable prediction in financial time series may bring valuable profits for the investors. This paper proposes a methodology based on information obtained from exogenous series used in combination with neural networks to predict stock series. The best trained neural networks were used in combination to improve...
In soccer, scoring goals is a fundamental objective which depends on many conditions and constraints. Considering the RoboCup soccer 2D-simulator, this paper presents a data mining-based decision system to identify the best time and direction to kick the ball towards the goal to maximize the overall chances of scoring during a simulated soccer match. Following the CRISP-DM methodology, data for modeling...
