• Title: The OCON model: an old but green solution for distributable supervised classification for acoustic monitoring in smart cities
• Authors: Stefano Giacomelli, Marco Giordano, Claudia Rinaldi,
• Abstract summary: This paper focuses on vowel phonemes classification and speakers recognition for the Automatic Speech Recognition domain. For our case-study, the ASR model runs on a proprietary sensing and lightning system, exploited to monitor acoustic and air pollution on urban streets. We formalize combinations of pseudo-Neural Architecture Search and Hyper-s Tuning experiments, using an informed grid-search methodology, to achieve classification accuracy comparable to nowadays most complex architectures.

• Abstract: This paper explores a structured application of the One-Class approach and the One-Class-One-Network model for supervised classification tasks, focusing on vowel phonemes classification and speakers recognition for the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) domain. For our case-study, the ASR model runs on a proprietary sensing and lightning system, exploited to monitor acoustic and air pollution on urban streets. We formalize combinations of pseudo-Neural Architecture Search and Hyper-Parameters Tuning experiments, using an informed grid-search methodology, to achieve classification accuracy comparable to nowadays most complex architectures, delving into the speaker recognition and energy efficiency aspects. Despite its simplicity, our model proposal has a very good chance to generalize the language and speaker genders context for widespread applicability in computational constrained contexts, proved by relevant statistical and performance metrics. Our experiments code is openly accessible on our GitHub.

  This article aims to determine which and where information is located in an automatic speech recognition acoustic model (AM) Experiments are performed on speaker verification, acoustic environment classification, gender classification, tempo-distortion detection systems and speech sentiment/emotion identification. Analysis showed that neural-based AMs hold heterogeneous information that seems surprisingly uncorrelated with phoneme recognition.

  We propose a network layer to enhance the speech command recognition capability of a lightweight network.

This richer representation results in recognition accuracy improvement as shown by extensive experiments on Google speech commands (GSC) and synthetic speech commands (SSC) datasets.
