Clustered ? - Statistical Analysis of Cepstral Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Speech analysis applications are typically based on short-term spectral analysis of the speech signal. Feature extraction process outputs one feature vector per frame. The features are further processed by application-dependent techniques, such as hidden Markov models or vector quantization. Independent from the application, it is often desirable that the feature vectors form separable clusters in the feature space. In this work, we study whether data is really clustered in the feature space and, if so, what is the number of the clusters in typical speech data. We consider different forms of the widely used cepstral features.

متن کاملLung sound classification using cepstral-based statistical features
Lung sounds convey useful information related to pulmonary pathology. In this paper, short-term spectral characteristics of lung sounds are studied to characterize the lung sounds for the identification of associated diseases. Motivated by the success of cepstral features in speech signal classification, we evaluate five different cepstral features to recognize three types of lung sounds: norma...
متن کاملDetermining the effective features in classification of heart sounds using trained intelligent network and genetic algorithm
Heart diseases are among the most important causes of mortality in the world, especially in industrial countries. Using heart sounds and the features extracted from them are among the non-aggressive diagnosis and prognosis methods for heart diseases. In this study, the time-scale, Cepstral, frequency, temporal and turbulence features are saved and extracted from the heart sounds, and then they ...
متن کاملSpeech Emotion Recognition Based on Power Normalized Cepstral Coefficients in Noisy Conditions
Automatic recognition of speech emotional states in noisy conditions has become an important research topic in the emotional speech recognition area, in recent years. This paper considers the recognition of emotional states via speech in real environments. For this task, we employ the power normalized cepstral coefficients (PNCC) in a speech emotion recognition system. We investigate its perfor...
متن کاملExtension and further analysis of higher order cepstral moment normalization (HOCMN) for robust features in speech recognition
Cepstral normalization has been popularly used as a powerful approach to produce robust features for speech recognition. Good examples of approaches include the well known Cepstral Mean Subtraction (CMS) and Cepstral Mean and Variance Normalization (CMVN), in which either the first or both the first and the second moments of the Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) are normalized [1, 2]....
