...class
It is also possible to conceive of a more complex learning task, where each stream has a sequence of class labels. However, for the rest of this paper, we will only consider single class labels.

...glove
A Nintendo PowerGlove was used to collect the data. It is highly sensitive to noise, suffers low temporal and value resolution, is sensitive to environmental factors, only captures information from one hand and has no sensor on the little finger. Newer equipment has been procured which should significantly improve the quality of the data, and consequently classification.

...classification
For example, in the large Auslan domain, 30 per cent accuracy can be obtained using only the maxima and minima of the x, y and z channels.

Such a rule is not suited for classification, it is only for description.

...Localmin
Note the distinction between a global maximum (over the whole signal) and a local maximum (a peak relative to the points surrounding it).

...learner
Laplace correction [Domingos and Pazzani, 1997] and equal frequency discretisation into 5 bins
[Dougherty et al., 1995] for continuous values were used.

...attributed
In this context, attribution occurs by finding the event from the instance that most closely matches the synthetic event. The distance between the synthetic event and the closest match is used as the synthetic event attribute.

...domain
It is difficult to compare the current work with HMMs in an objective manner, since it is not clear what states and transitions are appropriate for the domains used in this work. Furthermore, because of the noise levels in the data and the small number of instances per class in the Auslan domain, we found in preliminary experiments that in many cases a simple 3-state (54 parameter) HMM did not converge.
