Hence, there are 52 training examples from each speaker. The speakers are grouped into sets of 30 speakers each, 4 groups can serve as training set, the last group as the test set. A total of 3 examples are missing, the authors dropped them due to difficulties in recording. \N\NThis is a good domain for a noisy, perceptual task. It is also a very good domain for testing the scaling abilities of algorithms. For example, C4.5 on this domain is slower than backpropagation!\N\N### Source\N\N* Creators: \NRon Cole and Mark Fanty \NDepartment of Computer Science and Engineering, \NOregon Graduate Institute, Beaverton, OR 97006. \Ncole '@' cse.ogi.edu, fanty '@' cse.ogi.edu \N\N* Donor: \NTom Dietterich \NDepartment of Computer Science \NOregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 \Ntgd '@' cs.orst.edu\N\N### Attributes Information\N \NAll attributes are continuous, real-valued attributes scaled into the range -1.0 to 1.0. The features are described in the paper by Cole and Fanty cited below. \NThe features include spectral coefficients; contour features, sonorant features, pre-sonorant features, and post-sonorant features. The exact order of appearance of the features is not known.\N\N### Relevant papers\N\NFanty, M., Cole, R. (1991). Spoken letter recognition. \NIn Lippman, R. P., Moody, J., and Touretzky, D. S.
