Performance Analysis of Gender Clustering and Classification Algorithms
Journal Title: International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
In speech processing, gender clustering and classification plays a major role. In both gender clustering and classification, selecting the feature is an important process and the often utilized feature for gender clustering and classification in speech processing is pitch. The pitch value of a male speech differs much from that of a female speech. Normally, there is a considerable frequency value difference between the male and female speech. But, in some cases the frequency of male is almost equal to female or frequency of female is equal to male. In such situation, it is difficult to identify the exact gender. By considering this drawback, here three features namely; energy entropy, zero crossing rate and short time energy are used for identifying the gender. Gender clustering and classification of speech signal are estimated using the aforementioned three features. Here, the gender clustering is computed using Euclidean distance, Mahalanobis distance, Manhattan distance & Bhattacharyya distance method and the gender classification method is computed using combined fuzzy logic and neural network, neuro fuzzy and support vector machine and its performance are analyzed.
