    Classification of vocal and non-vocal regions from audio songs using spectral features and pitch variations
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Vishnu Srinivasa Murthy, Y.V.S.; Koolagudi, S.G.
    In this work, an effort has been made to identify vocal and non-vocal regions from a given song using signal processing techniques and machine learning algorithm. Initially spectral features like mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) are used to develop the baseline system. Statistical values of pitch, jitter and shimmer are considered to improve performance of the system. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used to capture the characteristics of vocal and non-vocal segments of the songs. The experiment is conducted on 60 vocal and 60 non-vocal clips extracted from Telugu albums. 11-point moving window is used to ensure the continuity of vocal and non-vocal segments, thus improving the accuracy of system. With this approach system achieves 85.59% accuracy for vocal and 88.52% for non-vocal segment classification. © 2015 IEEE.

    Repetition detection in stuttered speech
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH info@springer-sbm.com, 2016) Ramteke, P.B.; Koolagudi, S.G.; Afroz, F.
    This paper mainly focuses on detection of repetitions in stuttered speech. The stuttered speech signal is divided into isolated units based on energy. Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCCs), formants and shimmer are used as features for repetition recognition. These features are extracted from each isolated unit. Using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) the features of each isolated unit are compared with those subsequent units within one second interval of speech. Based on the analysis of scores obtained from DTW a threshold is set, if the score is below the set threshold then the units are identified as repeated events. Twenty seven seconds of speech data used in this work, consists of 50 repetition events. The result shows that the combination of MFCCs, formants and shimmer can be used for the recognition of repetitions in stuttered speech. Out of 50 repetitions, 47 are correctly identified. © Springer India 2016.
