hexadecile
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈhɛksəˌdɛsaɪɫ/
ipa: [ˈhɛksəˌdiːsaɪɫ]
ipa: /ˈhɛksəˌdɛsəl/
ipa: /ˈhɛksəˌdɛsˌaɪl/
Etymology: From hexa- + decile or hexadeca- + -ile.
Senses: examples: text: Parameters are then non-linearly re-scaled to the range of 0 to 15 to create a 4 bit acoustic vector component. Empirical non-linear scales were pre-determined for each parameter such that, over the long term, their values distributed evenly across a set of hexadecile bins representing the full range of the parameter. In the current system a separate non-linear scaling was established for each individual speaker, and, given the extent of the ANDOSL data used, this amounted to deriving equiprobable bins from approximately 10 minutes of spoken phonemically-rich sentence data.

text: Several algorithms were tested for the equi-population transform. The simplest consisted of dividing the total population by 16 and then, in a single linear scan, the parameter histogram was divided into hexadecile units. This approach performed poorly where parameter distributions were peaky, which is often the case.
