    • Classification of speaker accent using hybrid DWT-LPC features and K-nearest neighbors in ethnically diverse Malaysian English 

      Yusnita, Mohd Ali; Pandiyan, Paulraj Murugesa, Prof. Dr.; Sazali, Yaacob, Prof. Dr.; Shahriman, Abu Bakar, Dr. (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 ...
    • Feature space reduction in ethnically diverse Malaysian English accents classification 

      Yusnita, Mohd Ali; Pandiyan, Paulraj Murugesa , Prof. Dr.; Sazali, Yaacob, Prof. Dr.; Shahriman, Abu Bakar, Dr. (IEEE Conference Publications, 2013)
      In this paper we propose a reduced dimensional space of statistical descriptors of mel-bands spectral energy (MBSE) vectors for accent classification of Malaysian English (MalE) speakers caused by diverse ethnics. Principle ...
    • Malaysian English accents identification using LPC and formant analysis 

      Yusnita, Mohd Ali; Pandiyan, Paulraj Murugesa, Prof. Dr.; Sazali, Yaacob, Prof. Dr.; Shahriman, Abu Bakar, Dr.; Saidatul, A. (IEEE Conference Publications, 2011-11)
      In Malaysia, most people speak several varieties of English known as Malaysian English (MalE) and there is no uniform version because of the existence of multi-ethnic population. It is a common scenario that Malaysians ...
    • Speaker accent recognition through statistical descriptors of Mel-bands spectral energy and neural network model 

      Yusnita, Mohd Ali; Pandiyan, Paulraj Murugesa, Prof. Dr.; Sazali, Yaacob, Prof. Dr.; Shahriman, Abu Bakar, Dr.; Nataraj, Sathees Kumar (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 ...
    • Statistical formant descriptors with linear predictive coefficients for accent classification 

      Yusnita, Mohd Ali; Pandiyan, Paulraj Murugesa , Prof. Dr.; Sazali, Yaacob, Prof. Dr.; Shahriman, Abu Bakar, Dr.; Nor Fadzilah, Mokhtar (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-06)
      Accent is a special trait of human speech that can deliver some information about a speaker's background. At the same time it is one of the profound factors that affects the intelligibility and performance of speech ...
