Abstract

See full text

A speech/music discriminator employs data from multiple features of an audio signal as input to a classifier. Some of the feature data is determined from individual frames of the audio signal, and other input data is based upon variations of a feature over several frames, to distinguish the changes in voiced and unvoiced components of speech from the more constant characteristics of music. Several different types of classifiers for labeling test points on the basis of the feature data are disclosed. A preferred set of classifiers is based upon variations of a nearest-neighbor approach, including a K-d tree spatial partitioning technique.
