Real and complex wavelet transform using singular value decomposition for malaysian speaker and accent recognition

2021-01-01 , Rokiah Abdullah , Vikneswaran Vijean , Muthusamy H. , Farah Nazlia Che Kassim , Abdullah Z.

This paper presents a new approach for Malaysian speaker and accent recognition using wavelet feature extraction method, namely Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT), Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT) and Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Packet Transform (DT-CWPT). Since Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) was based on factorization and summarization technique which reduces a rectangular matric, it is applied on those features to evaluate the performance for speaker and accent recognition. The features are derived from wavelets and SVD classified with three different classifiers namely k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). In this work, English digits (0–9) and Malay words database uttered from 75 undergraduate students of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) which are Malays, Chinese and Indian. The Malay words had a combination of consonants and vowels in monosyllable and bi-syllable structure. The accuracy of file-based analysis achieved were above 81% while for frame-based analysis, 93.87% and above were obtained using three different classifiers (k-NN, SVM and ELM) for speaker and accent recognition. Through the experiments, it is observed that accent recognition achieved high recognition rate of 100% for both framed-based analysis and file-based analysis using SVM. The experimental results show the proposed features using SVD achieved high accuracy of 100% using SVM through English digits and Malay words in accent recognition. This indicated that feature extraction using wavelets (WPT, DWPT and DT-CWPT) with SVD can achieve a good performance for both English digits and Malay words.

Optimization of dual-tree complex wavelet packet based entropy features for voice pathologies detection

2020-07-01 , Farah Nazlia Che Kassim , Vikneswaran Vijean , Abdullah Z. , Muthusamy H. , Rokiah Abdullah

The Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Packet Transform (DT-CWPT) has been successfully implemented in numerous field because it introduces limited redundancy, provides approximately shift-invariance and geometrically oriented signal in multiple dimensions where these properties are lacking in traditional wavelet transform. This paper investigates the performance of features extracted using DT-CWPT algorithms which are quantified using k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for detecting voice pathologies. Decomposition is done on the voice signals using Shannon and Approximate entropy (ApEn) to signify the complexity of voice signals in time and frequency domain. Feature selection methods using the ReliefF algorithm and Genetic algorithm (GA) are applied to obtain the optimum features for multiclass classification. It is observed that the best accuracies obtained using DT-CWPT with ApEn entropy are 91.15 % for k-NN and 93.90 % for SVM classifiers. The proposed work provides a promising detection rate for multiple voice disorders and is useful for the development of computer-based diagnostic tools for voice pathology screening in health care facilities.
