    ABSTRACT: Formants are regarded as the basic building blocks of vowels; however, they are very rarely used as features for difficult automatic speech recognition tasks. Formant based research is generally focused on formant extraction, because of the assumption that a better formant extraction method is the only manner to increase the effectiveness of formants. We challenge this assumption by investigating a different use of formants following their extraction. By using the same principles of combining formants as observed in speech perception studies, we create features that show good recognition performance under noisy testing conditions. Improved recognition performance with the proposed formant features is demonstrated by comparing to Melfrequency cepstrum coefficients and perceptual linear predictive coding features on a hidden Markov model based automatic speech recognition system.

    ABSTRACT: Examplers of a face are formed from multiple gallery images of a person and are used in the process of classification of a test image. We incorporate such examplers in forming a biologically inspired local binary decisions on similarity based face recognition method. As opposed to single model approaches such as face averages the exampler based approach results in higher recognition accu- racies and stability. Using multiple training samples per person, the method shows the following recognition accuracies: 99.0% on AR, 99.5% on FERET, 99.5% on ORL, 99.3% on EYALE, 100.0% on YALE and 100.0% on CALTECH face databases. In addition to face recognition, the method also detects the natural variability in the face images which can find application in automatic tagging of face images.
