In this paper, we present the use of the Features Weighted Mahalanobis Distance (FWMD) in improving the performance of Likelihood Maximizing Beamforming (Limabeam) algorithm in speech recognition for microphone array. The proposed approach is based on the replacement of the traditional distance measure in a Gaussian classifier with adding weight for different features in the Mahalanobis distance according to their distances after the variance normalization. By using Features Weighted Mahalanobis Distance for Limabeam algorithm (FWMD-Limabeam), we obtained correct word recognition rate of 90.26% for calibrate Limabeam and 87.23% for unsupervised Limabeam, resulting in a higher rate of 3% and 6% respectively than those produced by the original Limabearn. By implementing a HM-Net speech recognition strategy alternatively, we could save memory and reduce computation complexity.

High-performance concrete (HPC) is a new terminology used in concrete construction industry. Several studies have shown that concrete strength development is determined not only by the water-to-cement ratio but also influenced by the content of other concrete ingredients. HPC is a highly complex material, which makes modeling its behavior a very difficult task. This paper aimed at demonstrating the possibilities of adapting artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the comprresive strength of HPC. Mahalanobis Distance (MD) outlier detection method used for the purpose increase prediction ability of ANN. The detailed procedure of calculating Mahalanobis Distance (MD) is described. The effects of outlier compared with before and after artificial neural network training. MD outlier detection method successfully removed existence of outlier and improved the neural network training and prediction performance.

본 논문에서는 Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)-supervector의 Mahalanobis 거리측정 방법 기반의 Support Vector Machine (SVM) 커널을 이용한 새로운 화자인증 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 GMM-supervector SVM 커널방식은 GMM 방식과 SVM 방식을 결합한 방식으로서, GMM 파라미터에 의해 형성된 화자 및 비 화자 GMM-supervectors의 화자인증 임계값을 Mahalanobis 거리측정 방법기반의 SVM 커널에 적용함으로써 화자인증 정확도를 높인다. 제안한 방식의 성능 측정을 위해 20명의 화자를 대상으로 문장독립형 화자인증 실험을 수행하여 기존에 사용되고 있는 GMM, SVM, Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence 거리측정 방법 기반의 GMM-supervector SVM 커널, Bhattacharyya 거리측정 방법기반의 GMM-supervector SVM 커널 방식을 통한 화자인증 결과들과 비교하였다.

Since human listening is very sensitive to sound, a subjective index of a sound quality is required. Therefore, in the analysis for each situation, the sound evaluation is composed with sound quality factor. Many researchers spends their effort to make a more reliable and more accurate of sound in term of sound quality index for various system noise. The previous methods to evaluation of the SQ about vehicle interior noise are linear regression analysis of subjective SQ metrics by statistics and the estimation of the subjective SQ values by neural network. But these are so depended on jury test very much that they result in many difficulties. So, to reduce jury test weight, we suggested a new method using Mahalanobis distance for SQ evaluation. Threrefore, in this study Mahalanobis distance for the vehicle interior noise was derived using the objective SQ except jury test. Finnaly, the results of the SQ evaluation was analyzed discrimination between reference and abnormal group.

We propose a target identification algorithm for visual tracking. Target identification is realized by finding out corresponding line segments to the hypothesized model segments of the target. The key idea is the combination of the Mahalanobis distance with the geometrical relationship between model segments and extracted line segments.

As higher reliability and accuracy on production facilities are required to detect incipient faults, a diagnostic system for predictive maintenance of the facility is highly recommended. In this paper, we present a study on the application of vibration signals to diagnose faults for a Rotating Machinery using the Mahalanobis Distance-Taguchi System. RMS, Crest Factor and Kurtosis that is known as the Statistical Methods and the spectrum analysis are used to diagnose faults as parameters of Mahalanobis distance.

In an effort to enhance the quality of feature vector classification and thereby reduce the recognition error rate of the speaker-independent speech recognition, we employ the Mahalanobis distance in the calculation of the similarity measure between feature vectors. It is assumed that the metric matrix of the Mahalanobis distance be diagonal for the sake of cost reduction in memory and time of calculation. We propose that the diagonal elements be given in terms of the variations of the feature vector components. Geometrically, this prescription tends to redistribute the set of data in the shape of a hypersphere in the feature vector space. The idea is applied to the speech recognition by hidden Markov model with fuzzy vector quantization. The result shows that the recognition is improved by an appropriate choice of the relevant adjustable parameter. The Viterbi score difference of the two winners in the recognition test shows that the general behavior is in accord with that of the recognition error rate.

Wrinkle, spring-back, and fracture are major defects frequently found in the sheet metal forming process, and the reduction of such defects is difficult as they are affected by uncontrollable factors, such as variations in properties of the incoming material and process parameters. Without any countermeasures against these issues, attempts to reduce defects through optimal design methods often lead to failure. In this research, a new multi-attribute robust design methodology, based on the Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS), is presented for reducing the possibilities of wrinkle, spring-back, and fracture. MTS performs experimentation, based on the orthogonal array under various noise conditions, uses the SN ratio of the Mahalanobis distance as a performance metric. The proposed method is illustrated through a robust design of the sheet metal forming process of a cross member of automotive body.

The local behaviour of the surface formed by the perturbed maximum likelihood estimator of the squared Mahalanobis distance is investigated. The study of the local behaviour allows a simultaneous perturbation on the samples of interest and it is effective in identifying influential observations.
