Title
Plosive spotting with margin classifiers
Abstract
This paper presents a novel algorithm for precise spotting of plosives. The algorithm is based on a pattern matching tech- nique implemented with margin classifiers, such as support vec- tor machines (SVM). A special hierarchical treatment to over- come the problem of fricative and false silence detection is pre- sented. It uses the loss-based multi-class decisions. Further- more, a method for smoothing the overall decisions by sequen- tial linear programming is described. The proposed algorithm was tested on the TIMIT corpus, which produced a very high spotting accuracy. The algorithm presented here is applied to plosives detection, but can easily be adapted to any class of phonemes.
