    Yalıtık Sözcüklü Bir Türkçe Konuşma Tanıma Sisteminin Yapay Veri Artırımı ile Tasarımı ve Gerçekleştirimi
    (2020) Uslu, İbrahim Baran; Tora, Hakan; Sümer, Emre; Türker, Mustafa; Uslu, Baran
    Bu çalışmada toplamda doksan iki adet sesli komuttan oluşan bir yalıtık sözcüklü Türkçe konuşmatanıma sistemi tasarlanmış ve gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sistem, destek vektör makinesi (SVM) tabanlı olup,eğitimde kullanılan veri kümesi kaydedilen konuşmaların yapay olarak çeşitlendirilip artırılmasıyla eldeedilmiştir. Farklı yapay veri oranlarının tanıma başarımı üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Akustik öznitelikolarak, mel frekansı kepstral katsayıları (MFCC) kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, ses aktivitesi tespitinin ve MFCCkatsayılarının tanıma başarımına etkileri de irdelenmiştir. Sonuçta doksan iki yalıtık komut için ortalama%92.6’lık doğrulukla çalışan bir konuşma tanıma sistemi geliştirilmiştir

    Naturalness Analysis of the Speech Synthesized by a Tts Card
    (Ieee, 2016) Tora, Hakan; Uslu, Baran
    It is known that the performance of a developed text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system is assessed by subjective tests. These assessments are usually based on the intelligibility and naturalness of the synthesized speech. In this study, an investigation on relating these subjective test results, thus the naturalness of the synthesized speech, to which acoustic features is accomplished. Consequently the features which will increase the performance while synthesizing the speech are determined. Our work is focused especially on the pitch frequency and energy parameters.

    THE USE OF CUMULANTS FOR VOICED-UNVOICED SEGMENTS IDENTIFICATION IN SPEECH SIGNALS
    (Ieee, 2014) Uslu, Baran; Tora, Hakan
    In this study, voiced-unvoiced classification performance of Turkish sounds using skewness and kurtosis is examined. The analyses show that higher order cumulants can be employed as a feature in voiced-unvoiced classification that is vital in speech processing applications. Furthermore, it has been shown that cumulants are also useful for identifying voiced and unvoiced segments in noisy speech signals.

    Higher Order Statistical Analysis of Turkish Phones
    (Ieee, 2014) Tora, Hakan; Uslu, Baran
    In this study, histograms of Turkish phones were examined using higher order cumulants. As is known, phones constituting a language, are composed of letters as vowels and consonants. These letters can also be grouped as voiced and unvoiced phones. It is observed that unvoiced letters show a Gaussian-like distribution and result in small values of skewness and kurtosis. On the other hand, vowels and voiced consonants lead to a non-Gaussian distribution. Voiced and unvoiced phones are related with their skewness and kurtosis values. It is empirically shown that higher order cumulants are likely to be a feature in describing Turkish phones.

    Segmentation of Isolated Words Into Voiced-Unvoiced Sound Components by Kurtosis
    (Ieee, 2015) Uslu, Baran; Tora, Hakan
    This study presents a new approach to the segmentation of isolated words into their voiced/unvoiced parts. It is well known that voiced/unvoiced discrimination has an important role in speech synthesis and coding applications. The offered method makes this discrimination using the kurtosis values of the words. The performance of the proposed approach was tested on Turkish digit recordings from zero to nine. It has been observed that this approach segments the parts successfully in not only clean speech but also in noisy speech.
