This study addresses the TAUKADIAL challenge, focusing on the classification of speech from people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and neurotypical controls. We conducted three experiments comparing five machine-learning methods:…
Anomalous sound detection (ASD) is the task of identifying whether the sound emitted from an object is normal or anomalous. In some cases, early detection of this anomaly can prevent several problems. This article presents a Systematic…
We develop a voice phishing (VP) detector by fine-tuning Llama3, a representative open-source, small language model (LM). In the prompt, we provide carefully-designed VP evaluation criteria and apply the Chain-of-Thought (CoT) technique. To…
Assessing the presence and abundance of birds is important for monitoring specific species as well as overall ecosystem health. Many birds are most readily detected by their sounds, and thus passive acoustic monitoring is highly…
In this work, a multi-stage Machine Learning (ML) pipeline is proposed for pipe leakage detection in an industrial environment. As opposed to other industrial and urban environments, the environment under study includes many interfering…
Chatter detection has become a prominent subject of interest due to its effect on cutting tool life, surface finish and spindle of machine tool. Most of the existing methods in chatter detection literature are based on signal processing and…
Approximately 1.2% of the world's population has impaired voice production. As a result, automatic dysphonic voice detection has attracted considerable academic and clinical interest. However, existing methods for automated voice assessment…
In this paper, we propose a model for the Environment Sound Classification Task (ESC) that consists of multiple feature channels given as input to a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Attention mechanism. The novelty of the paper…
The control of perceptual voice qualities in a text-to-speech (TTS) system is of interest for applications where unmanipu- lated and manipulated speech probes can serve to illustrate pho- netic concepts that are otherwise difficult to…
Animal vocalisations serve a wide range of vital functions. Although it is possible to record animal vocalisations with external microphones, more insights are gained from miniature sensors mounted directly on animals' backs. We present…
In recent years, many innovative solutions for recording and viewing sounds from a stethoscope have become available. However, to fully utilize such devices, there is a need for an automated approach for detecting abnormal lung sounds,…
Speaker Verification (SV) systems involve mainly two individual stages: feature extraction and classification. In this paper, we explore these two modules with the aim of improving the performance of a speaker verification system under…
In this paper, we propose an anomaly detection algorithm for machine sounds with a deep complex network trained by self-supervision. Using the fact that phase continuity information is crucial for detecting abnormalities in time-series…
Ecological and conservation studies monitoring bird communities typically rely on species classification based on bird vocalizations. Historically, this has been based on expert volunteers going into the field and making lists of the bird…
Many animals emit vocal sounds which, independently from the sounds' function, embed some individually-distinctive signature. Thus the automatic recognition of individuals by sound is a potentially powerful tool for zoology and ecology…
A novel text-independent speaker identification (SI) method is proposed. This method uses the Mel-frequency Cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and the dynamic information among adjacent frames as feature sets to capture speaker's…
Frequency modulation features capture the fine structure of speech formants that constitute beneficial and supplementary to the traditional energy-based cepstral features. Improvements have been demonstrated mainly in GMM-HMM systems for…
Precision livestock farming optimizes livestock production through the use of sensor information and communication technologies to support decision making, proactively and near real-time. Among available technologies to monitor foraging…
Animal vocalizations provide crucial insights for wildlife assessment, particularly in complex environments such as forests, aiding species identification and ecological monitoring. Recent advances in deep learning have enabled automatic…
Passive acoustic monitoring is a sustainable method of monitoring wildlife and environments that leads to the generation of large datasets and, currently, a processing backlog. Academic research into automating this process is focused on…
