Late information fusion as e.g. majority voting is compared with techniques of early information fusion such as dynamic {PCA} (DPCA). The most frequently suggested features in the literature were employed including mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), linear prediction coefficients (LPC), zero-crossing rate (ZCR), and {MPEG-}7 features. To rank the importance of the short time features consensus sensitivity analysis is applied. A Gaussian classifier (GC) with full covariance structure and a linear neural network (NN) classifier are used." }
