Syllable classification using static matrices and prosodic features
In this paper we explore the usefulness of prosodic features for
syllable classification. In order to do this, we represent the
syllable as a static analysis unit such that its acoustic-temporal
dynamics could be merged into a set of features that the SVM
classifier will consider as a whole. In the first part of our
experiment we used MFCC as features for classification,
obtaining a maximum accuracy of 86.66%. The second part of
our study tests whether the prosodic information is
complementary to the cepstral information for syllable
classification. The results obtained show that combining the
two types of information does improve the classification, but
further analysis is necessary for a more successful
combination of the two types of features
Classification of multiple electromagnetic interference events in high-voltage power plant
This paper addresses condition assessment of electrical assets contained in high voltage power plants. Our work introduces a novel analysis approach of multiple event signals related to faults, and which are measured using Electro-Magnetic Interference method. The proposed method transfers the expert’s knowledge on events presence in the signals to an intelligent system which could potentially be used for automatic EMI diagnosis. Cyclic spectrum analysis is used as feature extraction to efficiently extract the repetitive rate and the dynamic discharge level of the events, and multi-class support vector machine is adopted for their classification. This first and novel method achieved successful results which may have potential implications on developing a framework for automatic diagnosis tool of EMI events
