Abstract

In recent days, deep learning has been widely used in signal and information processing. Among the deep learning algorithms, Convolution Neural Network (CNN) has been widely used for image recognition and classification because of its architecture, high accuracy and efficiency. This paper proposes a method that uses the CNN on audio samples rather than on the image samples in which the CNN method is usually used to train the model. The one-dimensional audio samples are converted into two-dimensional data that consists of matrix of Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) that are extracted from the audio samples and the number of windows used in the extraction. This proposed CNN model has been evaluated on the TIDIGITS corpus dataset. The paper analyzes different convolution layer architectures with different number of feature maps in each architecture. The three-layer convolution architecture was found to have the highest accuracy of 97.46% among the other discussed architectures.
