Few years back, Jaakkola and Haussler published a method of combining generative and discriminative approaches for detecting protein homologies. The method was a variant of support vector machines using a new kernel function called Fisher Kernel. They begin by training a generative hidden Markov model for a protein family. Then, using the model, they derive a vector of features called Fisher scores that are assigned to the sequence and then use support vector machine in conjunction with the fisher scores for protein homologies detection. In this paper, we revisit the idea of using a discriminative approach, and in particular support vector machines for protein homologies detection. However, in place of the Fisher scoring method, we present a new Hidden Markov Model Combining Scores approach. Six scoring algorithms are combined as a way of extracting features from a protein sequence. Experiments show that our method, improves on previous methods for homologies detection of protein domains.

Dynamic State Estimation

Abstract Behavior of animals living in the wild is often studied using visual observations made by trained experts. However, these observations tend to be used to classify behavior during discrete time periods and become more difficult when used to monitor multiple individuals for days or weeks. In this work, we present automatic tools to enable efficient behavior and dynamic state estimation/classification from data collected with animal borne bio-logging tags, without the need for statistical feature engineering. A combined framework of an long short-term memory (LSTM) network and a hidden Markov model (HMM) was developed to exploit sequential temporal information in raw motion data at two levels: within and between windows. Taking a moving window data segmentation approach, LSTM estimates the dynamic state corresponding to each window by parsing the contiguous raw data points within the window. HMM then links all of the individual window estimations and further improves the overall estimation. A case study with bottlenose dolphins was conducted to demonstrate the approach. The combined LSTM–HMM method achieved a 6% improvement over conventional methods such as K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM), pushing the accuracy above 90%. In addition to performance improvements, the proposed method requires a similar amount of training data to traditional machine learning methods, making the method easily adaptable to new tasks.

The aim of the paper is to propose a feature fusion based Audio-Visual Speaker Identification (AVSI) system with varied conditions of illumination environments. Among the different fusion strategies, feature level fusion has been used for the proposed AVSI system where Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used for learning and classification. Since the feature set contains richer information about the raw biometric data than any other levels, integration at feature level is expected to provide better authentication results. In this paper, both Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) and Linear Prediction Cepstral Coefficients (LPCCs) are combined to get the audio feature vectors and Active Shape Model (ASM) based appearance and shape facial features are concatenated to take the visual feature vectors. These combined audio and visual features are used for the feature-fusion. To reduce the dimension of the audio and visual feature vectors, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method is used. The VALID audio-visual database is used to measure the performance of the proposed system where four different illumination levels of lighting conditions are considered. Experimental results focus on the significance of the proposed audio-visual speaker identification system with various combinations of audio and visual features.

In this paper, we propose an alternative keyword spotting method relying on confidence measures and support vector machines. Confidence measures are computed from phone information provided by a Hidden Markov Model based speech recognizer. We use three kinds of techniques, i.e., arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means to compute a confidence measure for each word. The acceptance/rejection decision of a word is based on the confidence vector processed by the SVM classifier for which we propose a new Beta kernel. The performance of the proposed SVM classifier is compared with spotting methods based on some confidence means. Experimental results presented in this paper show that the proposed SVM classifier method improves the performances of the keyword spotting system.
