Pitch Frequency

Speech signal is enriched with plenty of features used for biometrical recognition and other applications like gender and emotional recognition. Channel conditions manifested by background noise and reverberation are the main challenges causing feature shifts in the test and training data. In this paper, a hybrid speaker identification model for consistent speech features and high recognition accuracy is made. Features using Mel frequency spectrum coefficients (MFCC) have been improved by incorporating a pitch frequency coefficient from speech time domain analysis. In order to enhance noise immunity, we proposed a single hidden layer feed-forward neural network (FFNN) tuned by an optimized particle swarm optimization (OPSO) algorithm. The proposed model is tested using 10-fold cross-validation over different levels of Adaptive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) (0-50 dB). A recognition accuracy of 97.83% was obtained from the proposed model in clean voice environments. However, a noisy channel is realized with lesser impact on the proposed model as compared with other baseline classifiers such as plain-FFNN, random forest (RF), K -nearest neighbour (KNN), and support vector machine (SVM).

Although a great success has been achieved under the environment of lab where the training data is sufficient and the surroundings are quiet, speaker identification (SI) in practical use still remains a challenge because of the complicated environment. To tackle this challenge, a hybrid system of Gaussian mixture model-support vector machines (GMM-SVM) is proposed in this paper. SVM can do well with less data but is computationally expensive while GMM is computationally inexpensive but needs more data to perform adequately. In this paper, SVM and GMM are parallel in both the training and testing phase, the judgment of them are fused to make the final decision: the person with the largest score is identified as the true speaker. Universal background model (UBM) is used in GMM to improve the recognition accuracy. The system is evaluated on part of the TIMIT database and a Chinese database which is recorded by our own. Experiments have shown that the method proposed in this paper is effective. The system has better performance and robustness than the baseline systems.

Yoruba Language

Yorùbá language is one of the three main languages that is been spoken in Nigeria. It is a tonal language that carries an accent on the vowel alphabets. There are twenty-five (25) alphabets in Yorùbá language with one of the alphabets a digraph (GB). Due to the difficulty in typing handwritten Yorùbá documents, there is a need to develop a handwritten recognition system that can convert the handwritten texts to digital format. This study discusses the offline Yorùbá handwritten word recognition system (OYHWR) that recognizes Yorùbá uppercase alphabets. Handwritten characters and words were obtained from different writers using the paint application and M708 graphics tablets. The characters were used for training and the words were used for testing. Pre-processing was done on the images and the geometric features of the images were extracted using zoning and gradient-based feature extraction. Geometric features are the different line types that form a particular character such as the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. The geometric features used are the number of horizontal lines, number of vertical lines, number of right diagonal lines, number of left diagonal lines, total length of all horizontal lines, total length of all vertical lines, total length of all right slanting lines, total length of all left-slanting lines and the area of the skeleton. The characters are divided into 9 zones and gradient feature extraction was used to extract the horizontal and vertical components and geometric features in each zone. The words were fed into the support vector machine classifier and the performance was evaluated based on recognition accuracy. Support vector machine is a two-class classifier, hence a multiclass SVM classifier least square support vector machine (LSSVM) was used for word recognition. The one vs one strategy and RBF kernel were used and the recognition accuracy obtained from the tested words ranges between 66.7%, 83.3%, 85.7%, 87.5%, and 100%. The low recognition rate for some of the words could be as a result of the similarity in the extracted features.

Baybayin is a pre-Hispanic Philippine writing system used in Luzon island. With the effort in reintroducing the script, in 2018, the Committee on Basic Education and Culture of the Philippine Congress approved House Bill 1022 or the ”National Writing System Act,” which declares the Baybayin script as the Philippines’ national writing system. Since then, Baybayin OCR has become a field of research interest. Numerous works have proposed different techniques in recognizing Baybayin scripts. However, all those studies anchored on the classification and recognition at the character level. In this work, we propose an algorithm that provides the Latin transliteration of a Baybayin word in an image. The proposed system relies on a Baybayin character classifier generated using the Support Vector Machine (SVM). The method involves isolation of each Baybayin character, then classifying each character according to its equivalent syllable in Latin script, and finally concatenate each result to form the transliterated word. The system was tested using a novel dataset of Baybayin word images and achieved a competitive 97.9% recognition accuracy. Based on our review of the literature, this is the first work that recognizes Baybayin scripts at the word level. The proposed system can be used in automated transliterations of Baybayin texts transcribed in old books, tattoos, signage, graphic designs, and documents, among others.

Speaker recognition is the task of identifying a person by his/her unique identification features or behavioural characteristics that are included in the speech uttered by the person. Speaker recognition deals with the identity of the speaker. It is a biometric modality which uses the features of the speaker that is influenced by one's individual behaviour as well as the characteristics of the vocal cord. The issue becomes more complex when regional languages are considered. Here, the authors report the design of a speaker recognition system using normal and telephonic Assamese speech for their case study. In their work, the authors have implemented i-vectors as features to generate an optimal feature set and have used the Feed Forward Neural Network for the recognition purpose which gives a fairly high recognition rate.

The Voice

Voice is one of  way to communicate and express yourself. Speaker recognition is a process carried out by a device to recognize the speaker through the voice. This study designed a speaker recognition system that was able to identify speakers based on what was said by using dynamic time warping (DTW) method based in matlab. To design a speaker recognition system begins with the process of reference data and test data. Both processes have the same process, which starts with sound recording, preprocessing, and feature extraction. In this system, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method is used to extract the features. The results of the feature extraction process from the two data will be compared using the DTW method. Calculations using DTW that produce the smallest value will be determined as the output. The test results show that the system can identify the voice with the best level of recognition accuracy of 90%, and the average recognition accuracy of 80%. The results were obtained from 50 tests, carried out by 5 people consisting of 3 men and 2 women, each speaker said a predetermined word

Metric Distance

This paper proposes state-of the-art Automatic Speaker Recognition System (ASR) based on Bayesian Distance Learning Metric as a feature extractor. In this modeling, I explored the constraints of the distance between modified and simplified i-vector pairs by the same speaker and different speakers. An approximation of the distance metric is used as a weighted covariance matrix from the higher eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, which is used to estimate the posterior distribution of the metric distance. Given a speaker tag, I select the data pair of the different speakers with the highest cosine score to form a set of speaker constraints. This collection captures the most discriminating variability between the speakers in the training data. This Bayesian distance learning approach achieves better performance than the most advanced methods. Furthermore, this method is insensitive to normalization compared to cosine scores. This method is very effective in the case of limited training data. The modified supervised i-vector based ASR system is evaluated on the NIST SRE 2008 database. The best performance of the combined cosine score EER 1.767% obtained using LDA200 + NCA200 + LDA200, and the best performance of Bayes_dml EER 1.775% obtained using LDA200 + NCA200 + LDA100. Bayesian_dml overcomes the combined norm of cosine scores and is the best result of the short2-short3 condition report for NIST SRE 2008 data.

Due to the highly variant face geometry and appearances, Facial Expression Recognition (FER) is still a challenging problem. CNN can characterize 2-D signals. Therefore, for emotion recognition in a video, the authors propose a feature selection model in AlexNet architecture to extract and filter facial features automatically. Similarly, for emotion recognition in audio, the authors use a deep LSTM-RNN. Finally, they propose a probabilistic model for the fusion of audio and visual models using facial features and speech of a subject. The model combines all the extracted features and use them to train the linear SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifiers. The proposed model outperforms the other existing models and achieves state-of-the-art performance for audio, visual and fusion models. The model classifies the seven known facial expressions, namely anger, happy, surprise, fear, disgust, sad, and neutral on the eNTERFACE’05 dataset with an overall accuracy of 76.61%.

Face recognition system is a state-of-the-art computer vision application within the artificial intelligence arena. Face recognition is the automated recognition of humans for their names/unique ID. The age invariant face recognition is a challenge task in the field of face recog-nition. In this work, we have introduced a stacked support vector machine where kernel activation of prototype examples is combined in nonlinear ways. The proposed work integrates soft compu-ting-based support vector machine (SVM) with deep SVM. The proposed model uses the implied relation between the variables described above in order to optimize their overall performance. Specifically, our method uses three different stages of complex convolution neural networks that detect and analyze the location of faces position and landmarks. This work has introduced cross-age celebrity dataset (CACD) for both single as well as cross-database enabling the transition of age. The proposed work has been implemented in the MATLAB simulation tool considering CACD dataset. Experimental results indicate that our techniques significantly outperform other strategies across a range of challenging metrics.

Speaker Modeling

A speaker recognition system verifies or identifies a speaker’s identity based on his/her voice. It is considered as one of the most convenient biometric characteristic for human machine communication. This chapter introduces several speaker recognition systems and examines their performances under various conditions. Speaker recognition can be classified into either speaker verification or speaker identification. Speaker verification aims to verify whether an input speech corresponds to a claimed identity, and speaker identification aims to identify an input speech by selecting one model from a set of enrolled speaker models. Both the speaker verification and identification system consist of three essential elements: feature extraction, speaker modeling, and matching. The feature extraction pertains to extracting essential features from an input speech for speaker recognition. The speaker modeling pertains to probabilistically modeling the feature of the enrolled speakers. The matching pertains to matching the input feature to various speaker models. Speaker modeling techniques including Gaussian mixture model (GMM), hidden Markov model (HMM), and phone n-grams are presented, and in this chapter, their performances are compared under various tasks. Several verification and identification experimental results presented in this chapter indicate that speaker recognition performances are highly dependent on the acoustical environment. A comparative study between human listeners and an automatic speaker verification system is presented, and it indicates that an automatic speaker verification system can outperform human listeners. The applications of speaker recognition are summarized, and finally various obstacles that must be overcome are discussed.
