Hierarchical Automatic Audio Signal Classification*
نویسنده
چکیده
The design, implementation, and evaluation of a system for automatic audio signal classification is presented. The signals are classified according to audio type, differentiating between three speech classes, 13 musical genres, and background noise. A large number of audio features are evaluated for their suitability in such a classification task, including MPEG-7 descriptors and several new features. The selection of the features is carried out systematically with regard to their robustness to noise and bandwidth changes, as well as to their ability to distinguish a given set of audio types. Direct and hierarchical approaches for the feature selection and for the classification are evaluated and compared.

Introduction: Mental arithmetic analysis based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal for monitoring the state of the user’s brain functioning can be helpful for understanding some psychological disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or dyscalculia where the difficulty in learning or understanding the arithmetic exists. Most mental arithmetic recogni...

A system for the automatic classification of audio signals according to audio category is presented. The signals are recognized as speech, background noise and one of 13 musical genres. A large number of audio features are evaluated for their suitability in such a classification task, including well-known physical and perceptual features, audio descriptors defined in the MPEG-7 standard, as wel...
متن کاملInferring Efficient Hierarchical Taxonomies for MIR Tasks: Application to Musical Instruments
A number of approaches for automatic audio classification are based on hierarchical taxonomies since it is acknowledged that improved performance can be thereby obtained. In this paper, we propose a new strategy to automatically acquire hierarchical taxonomies, using machine learning methods, which are expected to maximize the performance of subsequent classification. It is shown that the optim...
