Abstract

This paper presents Thai isolated word recognition system, which is based on the Ant-Miner algorithm. The system employs fundamental frequency (F0) extraction from input speech signal, analysis of F0 contour for feature extraction, and classification of each tone using the extracted features. In the F0 feature extraction, the polynomial regression functions are employed to fit the segmented F0 curve where its coefficients are used as a feature vector. All attributes are used for construct the classification rules by an Ant-Miner algorithm in order to classify 10 Thai digits utterances. For this experiment, the Ant-Miner algorithm is adapted, with a small change to increase the recognition rate. The result of this experiment is a 95% recognition rate.
