Abstract

In a signal pattern recognition apparatus, a plurality of feature transformation sections respectively transform an inputted signal pattern into vectors in a plurality of feature spaces corresponding respectively to predetermined classes using a predetermined transformation parameter corresponding to each of the classes so as to emphasize a feature of each of the classes, and a plurality of discriminant function sections respectively calculates a value of a discriminant function using a predetermined discriminant function representing a similarity measure of each of the classes for the transformed vectors in the plurality of feature spaces. Then, a selection section executes a signal pattern recognition process by selecting a class to which the inputted signal pattern belongs based on the calculated values of a plurality of discriminant functions corresponding respectively to the classes, and a training control section trains and sets a plurality of transformation parameters of the feature transformation process and a plurality of discriminant functions so that an error probability of the signal pattern recognition is minimized based on a predetermined training signal pattern.
