Parameter selection for isolated word recognition using vector quantization

The use of vector quantization (VQ) in isolated-word recognition of a 20-word vocabulary is examined. A separate sequence of VQ code books is designed for each word in the recognition vocabulary and input words are classified by performing VQ and finding the sequence of code books that achieve the smallest average distortion. In this paper, critical parameters are noted and the results of parameter studies are presented.
