Estimation of formant frequencies using machine learning
Káčerová, Erika ; Galáž, Zoltán (referee) ; Mekyska, Jiří (advisor)
This Master's thesis deals with the issue of formant extraction. A system of scripts in Matlab interface is created to generate values of the first three formant frequencies from speech recordings with the use of Praat and Snack(WaveSurfer). Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients and Linear Predictive Coefficients are extracted from the audio files in order to be added to the database. This database is then used to train a neural network. Finally, the designed neural network is tested.

Controlling and Measuring Sport Drills by Voice/Sound
Odehnal, Jiří ; Křivka, Zbyněk (referee) ; Rychlý, Marek (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with the design and development of mobile aplication for Android platform. The aim of the work is to implement a simple and user-friendly user interface that would support and assist the user in trainning and sport exercises. The thesis also include implementation of sound detection to support during exercises and voice instruction by application. In practice the application should help in making training exercises more comfortable without the user being forced to keep mobile device in hand.

Acoustic Scene Classification from Speech
Dobrotka, Matúš ; Glembek, Ondřej (referee) ; Matějka, Pavel (advisor)
The topic of this thesis is an audio recording classification with 15 different acoustic scene classes that represent common scenes and places where people are situated on a regular basis. The thesis describes 2 approaches based on GMM and i-vectors and a fusion of the both approaches. The score of the best GMM system which was evaluated on the evaluation dataset of the DCASE Challenge is 60.4%. The best i-vector system's score is 68.4%. The fusion of the GMM system and the best i-vector system achieves score of 69.3%, which would lead to the 20th place in the all systems ranking of the DCASE 2017 Challenge (among 98 submitted systems from all over the world).

Speech-signal-based recognition of type of transmission channel
Kopřiva, Tomáš ; Burget, Radim (referee) ; Atassi, Hicham (advisor)
This work deals with the classification of five different transmission channels by speech signal processing. The channels considered are: GSM, two PSTN channels and two VoIP channels. For the training and testing purposes, a speech database for the transmission channels called SPLAB_TranCh was constructed. The speech signals of this corpus originally come from well-known TIMIT database, where each utterance passed through each mentioned transmission channel. The main objective of this work is to find optimal features and classification accuracy that yield best classification accuracy. Several types of features, including MFCC, LPCC and spectral characteristics were put under examination. The best suprasegmental features were identified by using mRMR algorithm. Several classifiers were tested as well. The results suggested that the classification of transmission channel can be performed with high accuracy (around 90 %). Influence of adverse effects, which can occur during transmission, is also examined. Considered types of distortions are: saturation, thresholding, echo, crackling noises and different colors of noises and filters.

Application of statistical analysis of speech in patients with Parkinson's disease
Bijota, Jan ; Mžourek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Galáž, Zoltán (advisor)
This thesis deals with speech analysis of people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease. Purpose of this thesis is to obtain statistical sample of speech parameters which helps to determine if examined person is suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Statistical sample is based on hypokinetic dysarthria detection. For speech signal pre-processing DC-offset removal and pre-emphasis are used. The next step is to divide signal into frames. Phonation parameters, MFCC and PLP coefficients are used for characterization of framed speech signal. After parametrization the speech signal can be analyzed by statistical methods. For statistical analysis in this thesis Spearman’s and Pearson’s correlation coefficients, mutual information, Mann-Whitney U test and Student’s t-test are used. The thesis results are the groups of speech parameters for individual long czech vowels which are the best indicator of the difference between healthy person and patient suffering from Parkinson’s disease. These result can be helpful in medical diagnosis of a patient.

Speech Recognition For Selected Languages
Schmitt, Jan ; Karafiát, Martin (referee) ; Janda, Miloš (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with recognition of continues speech for three languages - Bulgarian, Croatian and Swedish. There are described basics of speech processing and recognition methods like acoustic modeling using hidden Markov models and gaussian mixture models. Another aim of this work is preparing data for those languages from GlobalPhone database, so they may be used with speech recognition toolkits Kaldi and HTK. With data prepared there are several models trained and tested using Kaldi toolkit.

Analysis of Parkinson's disease using segmental speech parameters
Mračko, Peter ; Mekyska, Jiří (referee) ; Smékal, Zdeněk (advisor)
This project describes design of the system for diagnosis Parkinson’s disease based on speech. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system. One of the symptoms of this disease is disability of motor aspects of speech, called hypokinetic dysarthria. Design of the system in this work is based on the best known segmental features such as coefficients LPC, PLP, MFCC, LPCC but also less known such as CMS, ACW and MSC. From speech records of patients affected by Parkinson’s disease and also healthy controls are calculated these coefficients, further is performed a selection process and subsequent classification. The best result, which was obtained in this project reached classification accuracy 77,19%, sensitivity 74,69% and specificity 78,95%.
