ABSTRACT:
The present invention is related to speech recognition and particularly to a new type of vector quantizer and a new vector quantization technique in which the error rate of associating a sound with an incoming speech signal is drastically reduced. To achieve this end, the present invention technique groups the feature vectors in a space into different prototypes at least two of which represent a class of sound. Each of the prototypes may in turn have a number of subclasses or partitions. Each of the prototypes and their subclasses may be assigned respective identifying values. To identify an incoming speech feature vector, at least one of the feature values of the incoming feature vector is compared with the different values of the respective prototypes, or the subclasses of the prototypes. The class of sound whose group of prototypes, or at least one of the prototypes, whose combined value most closely matches the value of the feature value of the feature vector is deemed to be the class corresponding to the feature vector. The feature vector is then labeled with the identifier associated with that class.
