Male or Female","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaster's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Computer Science - Miscellaneous, grade: A+, University of Manchester, language: English, abstract: The aim of this project was to create a gender identification system that can be\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eused to identify the gender of the speaker. In this dissertation I have explained the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esignal processing background such as Fourier transforms and DCT etc. that was\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eneeded to understand the underlying signal processing happening in digital devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApart from that I also investigated the different classification techniques such as\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdaboost and Gaussian Mixture Models and different types of methods such as\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFusion method, acoustic methods and pitch methods used in gender identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom this perspective I have implemented 3 types of models (4 Models) that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare explained in the literature and introducing a new method for gender recognition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat uses SDC feature with pitch to identify the gender. All models were tested\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand trained on the same amount of speech. The SDC and SDC fused model gave\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esatisfactory results on Voxforge dataset. Finally I tested the acoustic and fused\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emodels on YouTube video which gave almost 90% accuracy. The results of my\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eimplementations are shown in chapter 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783656554493\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783656554493","offer_id":39433445933149,"sku":"9783656554493","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/87c895aa-ea19-48b9-bbc9-8b1822d33a58.jpg?v=1778048950","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/who-is-speaking-male-or-female-von-hassam-sheikh","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
