Voice Activity Detection Using Generalized Gamma Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we model speech samples with a two-sided generalized Gamma distribution and evaluate its efficiency for voice activity detection. Using a computationally inexpensive maximum likelihood approach, we employ the Bayesian Information Criterion for identifying the phoneme boundaries in noisy speech.

A New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
متن کاملVoice activity detection based on a family of parametric distributions
In this letter, generalized gamma distribution (GCD) is introduced as a new statistical model of spectral distribution to be applied to the likelihood ratio test performed in voice activity detection (VAD). A gradient-based on-line algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters of GCD according to the maximum likelihood criterion. Experimental results show that the VAD algorithm implemented b...

متن کاملBayesian paradigm for analysing count data in longitudina studies using Poisson-generalized log-gamma model
In analyzing longitudinal data with counted responses, normal distribution is usually used for distribution of the random efffects. However, in some applications random effects may not be normally distributed. Misspecification of this distribution may cause reduction of efficiency of estimators. In this paper, a generalized log-gamma distribution is used for the random effects which includes th...
متن کاملVoice activity detection based on statistical models and machine learning approaches
The voice activity detectors (VADs) based on statistical models have shown impressive performances especially when fairly precise statistical models are employed. Moreover, the accuracy of the VAD utilizing statistical models can be significantly improved when machine-learning techniques are adopted to provide prior knowledge for speech characteristics. In the first part of this paper, we intro...
