Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The importance of Language Identification for African languages is seeing a dramatic increase due to the development of telecommunication infrastructure and, as a result, an increase in volumes of data and speech traffic in public networks. By automatically processing the raw speech data the vital assistance given to people in distress can be speeded up, by referring their calls to a person knowledgeable in that language. To this effect a speech corpus was developed and various

Abstract:
<p>In this thesis, a probabilistic model for transforming a voice to sound like another specific voice is tested. The model is fully automatic and only requires some 100 training sentences from both speakers with the same acoustic content. The classical source-filter decomposition allows prosodic and spectral transformation to be performed independently. The transformations are based on a Gaussian mixture model and a transformation function suggested by Y. Stylianou. Feature vectors of the same content from the source and target speaker, aligned in time by dynamic time warping, are fitted to a

Abstract:
In most of state-of-the-art speech recognition systems, Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) are used to model the density of the emitting states in the hidden Markov models (HMMs). In a conventional system, the model parameters of each GMM are estimated directly and independently given the alignment. This results a large number of model parameters to be estimated, and consequently, a large amount of training data is required to fit the model. In addition, different sources of acoustic variability that impact the accuracy of a recogniser such as pronunciation variation, accent, speaker factor and en

Over the years analysts have used the EM algorithm to obtain maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data for various models. The general algorithm admits several appealing properties such as strong global convergence; however, the rate of convergence is linear which in some cases may be unacceptably slow. This work is primarily concerned with applying Anderson acceleration to the EM algorithm for Gaussian mixture models (GMM) in hopes of alleviating slow convergence.

Abstract:
Atualmente diversos sistemas sensoriais fornecem dados em fluxos e essas observações medidas são frequentemente de alta dimensionalidade, ou seja, o número de variáveis medidas é grande, e as observações chegam em sequência. Este é, em particular, o caso de sistemas de visão em robôs. Aprendizagem supervisionada e não-supervisionada com esses fluxos de dados é um desafio, porque o algoritmo deve ser capaz de aprender com cada observação e depois descartá-la antes de considerar a próxima, mas diversos métodos requerem todo o conjunto de dados a fim de estimar seus parâmetros e, portanto, não sã

Abstract:
Le problème de la propagation non linéaire d’incertitude est crucial en astrodynamique, car tous les systèmes d’intérêt pratique, allant de la navigation à la détermination d’orbite et au suivi de cibles, impliquent des non-linéarités dans leurs modèles dynamiques et de mesure. Un sujet d’intérêt est la propagation précise d’incertitude à travers la dynamique orbitale non linéaire, une exigence fondamentale dans plusieurs applications telles que la surveillance de l’espace, la gestion du trafic spatial et la fin de vie des satellites. Étant donnée une représentation dimensionnelle finie de la

Abstract:
Model and variable selection have attracted considerable attention in areas of application where datasets usually contain thousands of variables. Variable selection is a critical step to reduce the dimension of high dimensional data by eliminating irrelevant variables. The general objective of variable selection is not only to obtain a set of cost-effective predictors selected but also to improve prediction and prediction variance. We have made several contributions to this issue through a range of advanced topics: providing a graphical view of Bayesian Variable Selection (BVS), recovering s

Abstract:
Cette thèse étudie les approches de classification automatique basées sur les modèles de mélange gaussiens et les critères de choix de modèles pour la classification automatique de données discrétisées. Quatorze algorithmes binned-EM et quatorze algorithmes bin-EM-CEM sont développés pour quatorze modèles de mélange gaussiens parcimonieux. Ces nouveaux algorithmes combinent les avantages des données discrétisées en termes de réduction du temps d’exécution et les avantages des modèles de mélange gaussiens parcimonieux en termes de simplification de l'estimation des paramètres.

Abstract:
Of the many existing eukaryotic gene finding software programs, none are able to guarantee accurate identification of genomic protein coding regions and other biological signals central to pathway from DNA to the protein. Eukaryotic gene finding is difficult mainly due to noncontiguous and non-continuous nature of genes. Existing approaches are heavily dependent on the compositional statistics of the sequences they learn from and are not equally suitable for all types of sequences. This thesis firstly develops efficient digital signal processing-based methods for the identification of genomic

Abstract:
The Pulse Couple Neural Network (PCNN) was developed by Eckhorn to model the observed synchronization of neural assemblies in the visual cortex of small mammals such as a cat. In this dissertation, three novel PCNN based automatic segmentation algorithms were developed to segment Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data: (a) PCNN image 'signature' based single region cropping; (b) PCNN - Kittler Illingworth minimum error thresholding and (c) PCNN -Gaussian Mixture Model - Expectation Maximization (GMM-EM) based multiple material segmentation. Among other control tests, the proposed algorithms wer

Abstract:
Detecting human actions using a camera has many possible applications in the security industry. When a human performs an action, his/her body goes through a signature sequence of poses. To detect these pose changes and hence the activities performed, a pattern recogniser needs to be built into the video system. Due to the temporal nature of the patterns, Hidden Markov Models (HMM), used extensively in speech recognition, were investigated. Initially a gesture recognition system was built using novel features. These features were obtained by approximating the contour of the foreground object wi
