Fuzzy Clustering Evaluation of Time-Frequency Distribution (TFD) Schemes for Audio Stream Segregation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Audio stream segregation is a task performed constantly by the human auditory system, yet is difficult to reproduce with a computer. The research detailed in this paper looks at performing just one method of stream segregation the temporal coherence boundary using a fuzzy clustering system. The main focus of the paper is on examining the effectiveness of several time-frequency distributions as the feature vectors for the system. Three time-frequency distributions are examined and their effectiveness evaluated in terms of correct separation and computational complexity. The main evaluation compares the popular gamma-tone filter bank with the MPEG-7 audio spectrum envelope. The results are promising, indicating that the less computationally expensive MPEG-7 descriptor performs well, implying that stream segregation may be possible using the MPEG-7 audio low-level description scheme.

OPTIMIZATION OF FUZZY CLUSTERING CRITERIA BY A HYBRID PSO AND FUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERING ALGORITHM
This paper presents an efficient hybrid method, namely fuzzy particleswarm optimization (FPSO) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithms, to solve the fuzzyclustering problem, especially for large sizes. When the problem becomes large, theFCM algorithm may result in uneven distribution of data, making it difficult to findan optimal solution in reasonable amount of time. The PSO algorithm does find ago...
متن کاملA data-driven scheme for the approximated computing of alias-free generalized discrete time-frequency distributions
Time-Frequency Distribution (TFD) based on Cohen’s class has significant potential for the analysis of a number of non-stationary signals. One of the discrete formulations is the recently introduced Alias-Free Generalized Discrete-Time TFD (AF-GDTFD). The spectral decomposition of the kernel allows the computation of AF-GDTFD as a weighted sum of spectrograms. The partial sum has been shown to ...

Although many studies have been conducted to improve the clustering efficiency, most of the state-of-art schemes suffer from the lack of robustness and stability. This paper is aimed at proposing an efficient approach to elicit prior knowledge in terms of must-link and cannot-link from the estimated distribution of raw data in order to convert a blind clustering problem into a semi-supervised o...
