چکیده
The whale sounds help researchers in population assessments and to follow the migratory path of whales. Acoustics is the best way to study and observe cetaceans since it is automatic and non-invasive. A technique capable of differentiating between whale songs, other marine sounds and man-made sounds would be very useful for the scientific community. This paper presents a system that can classify signals collected from humpback whales vocalization data through acoustic monitoring from Puerto Rico coastal marine habitats. The fuzzy c-means algorithm is used to cluster, in an unsupervised manner, sounds from the same marine source. The Naive-Bayes classifier and a Hidden Markov Model are used to classify marine sounds such as whale songs, manmade sounds and natural background noise from hydrophone recordings under water. The MFCC (Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients) approach is used to extract the most important characteristic of the signals and a vector quantization and clustering approach is used to obtain the states for training the HMM. Satisfactory results are obtained through HMM classifier which outperforms the Naive-Bayes classifier for whale songs and marine sounds.

Outlier Detection Using Extreme Learning Machines Based on Quantum Fuzzy C-Means
One of the most important concerns of a data miner is always to have accurate and error-free data. Data that does not contain human errors and whose records are full and contain correct data. In this paper, a new learning model based on an extreme learning machine neural network is proposed for outlier detection. The function of neural networks depends on various parameters such as the structur...
متن کاملUsing Fuzzy Clustering to Improve Naive Bayes Classifiers and Probabilistic Networks
Although probabilistic networks and fuzzy clustering may seem to be disparate areas of research, they can both be seen as generalizations of naive Bayes classifiers. If all descriptive attributes are numeric, naive Bayes classifiers often assume an axis-parallel multidimensional normal distribution for each class. Probabilistic networks remove the requirement that the distributions must be axis...

Although at first sight probabilistic networks and fuzzy clustering seem to be disparate areas of research, a closer look reveals that they can both be seen as generalizations of naive Bayes classifiers. If all attributes are numeric (except the class attribute, of course), naive Bayes classifiers often assume an axis-parallel multidimensional normal distribution for each class as the underlyin...
متن کاملAcoustic Emotion Recognition Using Linear and Nonlinear Cepstral Coefficients
Recognizing human emotions through vocal channel has gained increased attention recently. In this paper, we study how used features, and classifiers impact recognition accuracy of emotions present in speech. Four emotional states are considered for classification of emotions from speech in this work. For this aim, features are extracted from audio characteristics of emotional speech using Linea...
متن کاملLearning Dynamic Naive Bayesian Classifiers
Hidden Markov models are a powerful technique to model and classify temporal sequences, such as in speech and gesture recognition. However, defining these models is still an art: the designer has to establish by trial and error the number of hidden states, the relevant observations, etc. We propose an extension of hidden Markov models, called dynamic naive Bayesian classifiers, and a methodolog...
