Speech Emotion Recognition Using Semi-Nmf Feature Optimization, Surekha Reddy Bandela, T Kishore Kumar Jan 2019

Speech Emotion Recognition Using Semi-Nmf Feature Optimization, Surekha Reddy Bandela, T Kishore Kumar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In recent times, much research is progressing forward in the field of speech emotion recognition (SER). Many SER systems have been developed by combining different speech features to improve their performances. As a result, the complexity of the classifier increases to train this huge feature set. Additionally, some of the features could be irrelevant in emotion detection and this leads to a decrease in the emotion recognition accuracy. To overcome this drawback, feature optimization can be performed on the feature sets to obtain the most desirable emotional feature set before classifying the features. In this paper, semi-nonnegative matrix factorization (semi-NMF) …


Scale-Invariant Mfccs For Speech/Speaker Recognition, Zekeri̇ya Tüfekci̇, Gökay Di̇şken Jan 2019

Scale-Invariant Mfccs For Speech/Speaker Recognition, Zekeri̇ya Tüfekci̇, Gökay Di̇şken

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The feature extraction process is a fundamental part of speech processing. Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) are the most commonly used feature types in the speech/speaker recognition literature. However, the MFCC framework may face numerical issues or dynamic range problems, which decreases their performance. A practical solution to these problems is adding a constant to filter-bank magnitudes before log compression, thus violating the scale-invariant property. In this work, a magnitude normalization and a multiplication constant are introduced to make the MFCCs scale-invariant and to avoid dynamic range expansion of nonspeech frames. Speaker verification experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Dual carrier modulation (DCM) using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) improves the performance in multipath fading channels. In the literature DCM is proposed with 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication, with four bits per symbol to keep reliable high date transmission over longer distances. Body area network (BAN) standards address transmission reliability more than data rate. UWB is one of the physical layers proposed in BAN standards. In this study, DCM is used with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) instead of 16QAM to have better performance in reliable transmission. The performance of QPSK-DCM is analyzed and compared with 16QAM-DCM, …
