Classification of speaker accent using hybrid DWT-LPC features and K-nearest neighbors in ethnically diverse Malaysian English
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2012-12)
Accent is a major cause of variability in automatic speaker-independent speech recognition systems. Under certain circumstances, this event introduces unsatisfactory performance of the systems. In order to circumvent this ...
A study of a two phases medium in pipe vessel using gaussian filter method and k-NN classifier
(IOS Press, 2013-07-03)
In this paper we present the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the stochastic problem to determine two phase level of gas and water in the industrial pipe line. In order to distinguish the level phases in a vessel ...
A hybrid expert system approach for telemonitoring of vocal fold pathology
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)
Acoustical parameters extracted from the recorded voice samples are actively pursued for accurate detection of vocal fold pathology. Most of the system for detection of vocal fold pathology uses high quality voice samples. ...
Speaker accent recognition through statistical descriptors of Mel-bands spectral energy and neural network model
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2012-10)
Accent recognition is one of the most important topics in automatic speaker and speaker-independent speech recognition (SI-ASR) systems in recent years. The growth of voice-controlled technologies has becoming part of our ...
Neural network based detection of voice disorders using energy spectrum and equal-loudness contours
(Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), 2008-03-07)
Impairment of vocal function can have a major impact on the quality of life, severely limiting communication at work and affecting all social aspect of daily life. In the recent years, voice disease are increasing dramatically ...
Objective investigation of vision impairments using single trial pattern reversal visually evoked potentials
(Elsevier Ltd., 2013-07)
Visually evoked potentials (VEPs) originate from the occipital cortex and have long been used as a reliable indicator for vision impairments by ophthalmologists. Any abnormalities in the visual pathways of a person can be ...
Objective evaluation of speech dysfluencies using wavelet packet transform with sample entropy
(Elsevier Inc, 2013-05)
Dysfluency and stuttering are a break or interruption of normal speech such as repetition, prolongation, interjection of syllables, sounds, words or phrases and involuntary silent pauses or blocks in communication. Stuttering ...
Automatically infant cues recognition based on LDA and SVM classifier
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013)
This paper presents the management of sedation in critically ill infants is a complex issue for Intensive Care Units (ICU) worldwide. Notable complications of sedation practices have been identified and efforts to modify ...
New newborn jaundice monitoring scheme based on combination of pre-processing and color detection method
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)
Newborn jaundice is an apparent yellowing of the sclera or yellowish skin in newborn infants. This symptom is caused by a yellow pigment known as bilirubin. A high level of bilirubin in the infant is referred to as ...
Discrete wavelet transform in recognition human emotional movement through knocking
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2013)
Developing tools for identifying emotional states in human action is seen more challenging area of research and has attracted many researchers recently. In this paper, a new feature extraction method was proposed in ...
