    Robust Dialect Identification System using Spectro-Temporal Gabor Features
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Chittaragi, N.B.; Mothukuri, S.P.; Hegde, P.; Koolagudi, S.G.
    Automatic identification of dialects of a language is gaining popularity in the field of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. The present work proposes an automatic dialect identification (ADI) system using 2D Gabor and spectral features. A comprehensive study of the five dialects of a Dravidian Kannada language has been taken up. Gabor filters representing spectro-temporal modulations attempt in emulation of the human auditory system concerning signal processing strategies. Hence, they are able to well perceive human voices in tern recognize dialectal variations effectively. Also, spectral features Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) are derived. A single classifier based support vector machine (SVM) and ensemble based extreme random forest (ERF) classification methods are employed for recognition. The effectiveness of the Gabor features for ADI system is demonstrated with proposed Kannada dialect dataset along with a standard intonation variation in English (IViE) dataset for British English dialects. The Gabor features have shown better performance over MFCC features with both datasets. Better recognition performance of 88.75% and 99.16% is achieved with Kannada and IViE dialect datasets respectively. Proposed Gabor features have demonstrated better performances even under noisy conditions. © 2018 IEEE.

    IIMH: Intention Identification in Multimodal Human Utterances
    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2023) Keerthan Kumar, T.G.; Dhakate, H.; Koolagudi, S.G.
    Intention identification is a challenging problem in the field of natural language processing, speech processing, and computer vision. People often use contradictory or ambiguous words in different contexts, which can sometimes be very confusing to identify the intention behind an utterance. Intention identification has many practical applications in the fields of natural language processing, sentiment analysis, social media analysis, robotics, and human-computer interaction, where valuable insights into user behavior can be achieved by identifying intention. In this work, we propose a model to determine whether an utterance made by a person is intentional or not intentional. To achieve this, we collected a multimodal dataset containing text, video, and speech from various TV shows, movies, and YouTube videos and labeled them with their corresponding intention. Feature extraction is done at both utterance and word levels to get useful information from all three modalities. We trained the baseline model using SVM to set a benchmark performance. We designed an architecture to detect the contradiction between positive spoken words with negative facial expressions or speech to identify an utterance as non-intentional. Along with the architecture, we used different approaches for classification and got the best results with the Support vector machine (SVM) classifier using RBF kernel, with an accuracy of 78.83% and proven to be better compared to the baseline approach. © 2023 ACM.
