Audio Content Analysis in The Presence of Overlapped Classes - A Non-Exclusive Segmentation Approach to

Mitigate Information Losses

Global Summit and Expo onMultimedia & Applications

August 10-11, 2015 Birmingham, UK

Increasing volume of digital Media archives leading to increased demand for these goals

Introduction

Classification- Challenge and Solution

11:50

Speech

SE

Music

Classical classification problems are logically exclusive, i.e. an element is assumed to be a member of one class and of that class only. This hinders some practical uses in audio information mining, since a segment of the soundtrack can have either speech, music, event sounds or a combination of them (fuzzy element)

Non-exclusive classification can mitigate info losses.

A system integration approach to audio information mining can be

hypothetically built upon the success in the following diverse areas.

To re-deploy these tools, it is essential that a pre-processor should effectively

Where speech, music and audio events of interest occur.These audio segments can be further processed by dedicated algorithms to obtain further information.

• Music Analysis Retrieval and SYnthesis for Audio Signals.• Open source framework for audio processing by George

Tzanetakis  University of Victoria Canada.• Development of real time audio analysis and synthesis tools• Audio processing system with specific emphasis on MIR.• Implemented for exclusive classification (Speech or Music).• Music genre organisation.

Speech and Music classes are involved as starting point. Toward generalization, different styles of samples were

included in the training set. Speech samples (children, male, female, speaker with

different languages, aloud speech, speech with laughs,). Music, all genres are added (Jazz, pop, classical, rock ,…). All speech and music samples were mixed together after

normalizing them to produce speech over music samples.
