Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Higher Order Statistical Analysis of Turkish Phones;(IEEE Computer Society, 2014) Tora,H.; Uslu,B.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. © 2014 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2The Use of Cumulants for Voiced-Unvoiced Segments Identification in Speech Signals;(IEEE Computer Society, 2014) Uslu,B.; Tora,H.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. © 2014 IEEE.
