Vowel Recognition Supported by Ordered Weighted Average

Abstract

Ordered Weighted Average is a class of aggregators that generalize the concepts of median, minimum and maximum. An important feature of these aggregators is that they can be readily implemented in hardware. In our work we study whether these aggregators can be advantageously used to aggregate decisions by the group of experts. The experts in question are fuzzy logic recognition structures, a kind of a neural network. This paper compares the efficiency of group decision against the best trained system (within a class of fuzzy logic functions) on instances of two vowel discrimination problem.
