title={Kernel Springy Discriminant Analysis and Its Application to a Phonological
Awareness Teaching System},
abstract={Making use of the ubiquitous kernel notion, we present a new nonlinear supervised
feature extraction technique called Kernel Springy Discriminant Analysis.
We demonstrate that this method can efficiently reduce the number of features
and increase classification performance. The improvements obtained admittedly
arise from the nonlinear nature of the extraction technique developed here.
Since phonological awareness is a great importance in learning to read,
a computer-aided training system could be most beneficial in teaching young
learners. Naturally, our system employs an effective automatic phoneme
recognizer based on the proposed feature extraction technique. },
