[Analysis of liquor flavor spectra and pattern recognition computation]

Chinese liquor is a complex mixture and contains a large amount of microconstituents, which affects the quality and flavor of liquor. In order to discriminate liquor flavors rapidly, the spectra of liquors were obtained by FTIR and employed as the input patterns of pattern classification algorithms, then liquor flavor discrimination models were built. This paper introduces liquor flavor pattern recognition algorithms comprehensively and systematically for the first time, and the algorithms contain statistical classifications (linear discriminant function, quadratic discriminant function, regularized discriminant analysis, and K nearest neighbor), prototype learning algorithm (learning vector quantization), support vector machine and adaboost algorithm. Experimental results show that the liquor flavor classification algorithms demonstrate good performance and achieve high accuracy, recognition rate and rejection rate.
