Automatic musical genre classification is very useful for many musical applications. In this paper, the features of instrument distribution and instrument-based notes are proposed to represent the high-level characteristics of music. Experimental results show that the proposed features have a good performance in musical genre classification. Comparison between our proposed features with the com...

We evaluate a new filterbank structure, yielding the harmonic structure cepstral coefficients (HSCCs), on a mismatchedsession closed-set speaker classification task. The novelty of the filterbank lies in its averaging of energy at frequencies related by harmonicity rather than by adjacency. Improvements are presented which achieve a 37%rel reduction in error rate under these conditions. The imp...

This paper describes a hybrid technique for speaker recognition. Speaker recognition is that the method of identifying the person based on characteristics like pitch, tone, Cepstral coefficients in the speech wave. Here DWT and MFCC technique is employed for feature extraction. A mix of two or lot of techniques is named hybrid technique. DWT means divide the speech signal completely into differ...

Two methods of spectral analysis for noisy speech recognition are proposed and tested in a speaker independent word recognition experiment under an additive white Gaussian noise environment. One is Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) spectral analysis on the autocorrelation sequence of the speech signal and the other is MFCC spectral analysis on its double autocorrelation sequence. The w...

This paper proposes a method to recognize the emotion present in the speech signal using Iterative clustering technique. We propose Mel Frequency Perceptual Linear Predictive Cepstrum (MFPLPC) as a feature for recognizing the emotions. This feature is extracted from the speech and the clustering models are generated for each emotion. For the Speaker Independent classification technique, preproc...

In this study, frequency characteristics of foreign accented speech is investigated. Experiments are conducted to discover the relative signi cance of di erent resonant frequencies and frequency bands in terms of their accent discrimination ability. It is shown that second and third formants are more important than other resonant frequencies. A lter bank analysis of accented speech supports thi...

In a clinical context, there are increasing numbers of people with voiding dysfunction. To date, the methods monitoring status patients have included diary records at home or urodynamic examinations hospitals. The former is less objective and often contains missing data, while latter lacks frequent measurements an invasive procedure. light these shortcomings, this study developed innovative con...

During the meetings of the theory and modelling working group, within the MEL-ARI (Microelectronics Advanced Research Initiative) and NID-FET (Nanotechnology Information Devices–Future and Emerging Technologies) initiatives of the European Commission, we have been discussing the current status and the future perspectives of nanoscale device modelling. The outcome of such a discussion is summari...
