Comparing methods to find a best exemplar in a multidimensional space
Titia Benders, Paul Boersma · 2009
We present a simple algorithm for running a listening experiment aimed at finding the best exemplar in a multidimensional space. For simulated humanlike listeners, who have perception thresholds and some decision noise on their responses, the algorithm on average ends up twelve times closer than Iverson and Evans ’ algorithm [1].
