Abstract
In this paper we propose a quantized time series algorithm for spoken word recognition. In particular, we apply the algorithm to the task of spoken Arabic digit recognition. The quantized time series algorithm falls into the category of template matching approach, but with two important extensions. The first is that instead of selecting some typical templates from a set of training data, all the data is processed through vector quantization. The second extension consists of a built-in temporal structure within the quantized time series to facilitate the direct matching, instead of relying on time warping techniques. Experimental results have shown that the proposed approach outperforms the time warping pattern matching schemes in terms of accuracy and processing time.
