State-of-the-art animal classification models like SpeciesNet provide predictions across thousands of species but use conservative rollup strategies, resulting in many animals labeled at high taxonomic levels rather than species. We present…
Pattern recognition from audio signals is an active research topic encompassing audio tagging, acoustic scene classification, music classification, and other areas. Spectrogram and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) are among the…
Environmental sound detection is a challenging application of machine learning because of the noisy nature of the signal, and the small amount of (labeled) data that is typically available. This work thus presents a comparison of several…
In this article we present an account of the state-of-the-art in acoustic scene classification (ASC), the task of classifying environments from the sounds they produce. Starting from a historical review of previous research in this area, we…
For singers of all experience levels, one of the most daunting challenges in learning technical repertoire is navigating placement and vocal register in and around the passagio (passage between chest voice and head voice registers).…
Analyses for biodiversity monitoring based on passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) recordings is time-consuming and challenged by the presence of background noise in recordings. Existing models for sound event detection (SED) worked only on…
Marine mammal communication is a complex field, hindered by the diversity of vocalizations and environmental factors. The Watkins Marine Mammal Sound Database (WMMD) constitutes a comprehensive labeled dataset employed in machine learning…
Segregating an audio mixture containing multiple simultaneous bird sounds is a challenging task. However, birdsong often contains rapid pitch modulations, and these modulations carry information which may be of use in automatic recognition.…
A novel feature, based on the chirp z-transform, that offers an improved representation of the underlying true spectrum is proposed. This feature, the chirp MFCC, is derived by computing the Mel frequency cepstral coefficients from the…
In this work, we conduct an extensive comparison of various approaches to speech based emotion recognition systems. The analyses were carried out on audio recordings from Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS).…
Mel-filterbanks are fixed, engineered audio features which emulate human perception and have been used through the history of audio understanding up to today. However, their undeniable qualities are counterbalanced by the fundamental…
In this paper, we demonstrate a unique recipe to enhance the effectiveness of audio machine learning approaches by fusing pre-processing techniques into a deep learning model. Our solution accelerates training and inference performance by…
Counting the number of birds in an open sky setting has been an challenging problem due to the large number of bird flocks and the birds can overlap. Another difficulty is the lack of accurate training samples since the cost of labeling…
In recent years, deep learning technique has received intense attention owing to its great success in image recognition. A tendency of adaption of deep learning in various information processing fields has formed, including music…
Even human intelligence system fails to offer 100% accuracy in identifying speeches from a specific individual. Machine intelligence is trying to mimic humans in speaker identification problems through various approaches to speech feature…
This paper introduces a novel dataset FeatherV1, containing 28,272 images of feathers categorized by 595 bird species. It was created to perform taxonomic identification of bird species by a single feather, which can be applied in amateur…
Singer voice classification is a meaningful task in the digital era. With a huge number of songs today, identifying a singer is very helpful for music information retrieval, music properties indexing, and so on. In this paper, we propose a…
Heart rate is an important vital sign used in the diagnosis of many medical conditions. Conventionally, heart rate is measured using a medical device such as pulse oxymeter. Physiological parameters such as heart rate bear a correlation to…
Determination of mispronunciations and ensuring feedback to users are maintained by computer-assisted language learning (CALL) systems. In this work, we introduce an ensemble model that defines the mispronunciation of Arabic phonemes and…
Giant pandas, stereotyped as silent animals, make significantly more vocal sounds during breeding season, suggesting that sounds are essential for coordinating their reproduction and expression of mating preference. Previous biological…
