Bird sound spectrogram decomposition through Non-Negative Matrix Factorization for the acoustic classification of bird species.

PloS one
Feature extraction for Acoustic Bird Species Classification (ABSC) tasks has traditionally been based on parametric representations that were specifically developed for speech signals, such as Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). However, the ...

An intelligent artificial throat with sound-sensing ability based on laser induced graphene.

Nature communications
Traditional sound sources and sound detectors are usually independent and discrete in the human hearing range. To minimize the device size and integrate it with wearable electronics, there is an urgent requirement of realizing the functional integrat...

Real-Time Control of an Articulatory-Based Speech Synthesizer for Brain Computer Interfaces.

PLoS computational biology
Restoring natural speech in paralyzed and aphasic people could be achieved using a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) controlling a speech synthesizer in real-time. To reach this goal, a prerequisite is to develop a speech synthesizer producing intelligi...

An integrated model of pitch perception incorporating place and temporal pitch codes with application to cochlear implant research.

Hearing research
Although the neural mechanisms underlying pitch perception are not yet fully understood, there is general agreement that place and temporal representations of pitch are both used by the auditory system. This paper describes a neural network model of ...

Deep Neural Networks for Identifying Cough Sounds.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
In this paper, we consider two different approaches of using deep neural networks for cough detection. The cough detection task is cast as a visual recognition problem and as a sequence-to-sequence labeling problem. A convolutional neural network and...

Evolving Spiking Neural Networks for Recognition of Aged Voices.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
The aging of the voice, known as presbyphonia, is a natural process that can cause great change in vocal quality of the individual. This is a relevant problem to those people who use their voices professionally, and its early identification can help ...

Minimum Entropy Rate Simplification of Stochastic Processes.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
We propose minimum entropy rate simplification (MERS), an information-theoretic, parameterization-independent framework for simplifying generative models of stochastic processes. Applications include improving model quality for sampling tasks by conc...

Characterizing Vocal Repertoires--Hard vs. Soft Classification Approaches.

PloS one
To understand the proximate and ultimate causes that shape acoustic communication in animals, objective characterizations of the vocal repertoire of a given species are critical, as they provide the foundation for comparative analyses among individua...

Human-inspired sound environment recognition system for assistive vehicles.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: The human auditory system acquires environmental information under sound stimuli faster than visual or touch systems, which in turn, allows for faster human responses to such stimuli. It also complements senses such as sight, where direct ...
