An Expert System for Automatic Classification of Sound Signals

Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of research focusing on methods for recognition/classification of audio signals. We consider the results of the research project to serve as a basis for the main module of a hybrid expert system currently under development. In our earlier studies, we conducted research on the effectiveness of three classifiers: fuzzy classifier, neural classifier and WEKA system for reference data. In this project, a particular emphasis was placed on fine-tuning the fuzzy classifier model and on identifying neural classifier applications, taking into account new neural networks that we have not studied so far in connection with sounds classification methods
