Abstract

So far, it has been shown that the piecewise linear predictive coefficients obtained by the competitive associative net called CAN2 can provide a better performance in reproduction and recognition of vowel signals than the LPC (linear predictive coding) method which is widely used for speech processing. However, when a vowel signal involves a certain amount of observation noise, the performance becomes low. In this article, we introduce bagging CAN2 and show that it can reproduce and recognize vowel signals better than the conventional single CAN2. Furthermore, we suggest that the bagging CAN2 is useful for the analysis of vowel signals.
