Noun
(art) Dance Theater Workshop, a performance venue in New York City, New York
(computing) Dynamic Time Warping, a pattern matching algorithm
Source: en.wiktionary.orgThe main advantage of VQ in pattern recognition is its low computational burden when compared with other techniques such as dynamic time warping (DTW) and hidden Markov model (HMM). Source: Internet
The main drawback when compared to DTW and HMM is that it does not take into account the temporal evolution of the signals (speech, signature, etc.) because all the vectors are mixed up. Source: Internet
DTW has been applied to video, audio, and graphics – indeed, any data that can be turned into a linear representation can be analyzed with DTW. Source: Internet
