Research Abstract

After four years of research on feature extraction in classifying sounds like snore by using mathematical methods, we can show you at least four important results. As written in the proposal, we had intended to focus to survey the pattern recognition mechanism. However, it gradually became clear the recognition is deeply related with the structure of brain and mind, most active field all over the world. During the analysis of recorded snoring sounds using Fourier transformation, we found the existence of life security system working for 24 hours ready in emergency to recover from suffocation caused by tongue plug. First, the patterns of many snoring sounds were transformed into visual graphic patterns using Fourier transformation. Second, using mathematics like linear algebra and differential geometry, many models of neural networks were surveyed and learning mechanism was analyzed. Then we found the fact each neuron is making a decision comparing the total input amount of stimulation with its threshold so that the network can make closed area that can be regarded as a memory category. This process of cogitation inspired us to discover new algorithm of inference designated as the Half Defined Inference Method (HDIM). We also discovered the very much fundamental theory designated as the Two Face Theory (TFT).
