In audio analysis this process is largely based on finding components of an audio signal that can help us distinguish it from other signals. Preprocessing Audio: Digital Signal Processing Techniquesĭataset preprocessing, feature extraction and feature engineering are steps we take to extract information from the underlying data, information that in a machine learning context should be useful for predicting the class of a sample or the value of some target variable. The spiral cavity of the inner ear containing the organ of Corti, which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations. A nice way to think about spectrograms is as a stacked view of periodograms across some time-interval digital signal. Mel-frequency spectrogram of an audio sample in the Urbansound8k datasetĪ spectrogram is a visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies of a signal as it varies with time. Many of our users at Comet are working on audio related machine learning tasks such as audio classification, speech recognition and speech synthesis, so we built them tools to analyze, explore and understand audio data using Comet’s meta machine-learning platform.

Some of the most popular and widespread machine learning systems, virtual assistants Alexa, Siri and Google Home, are largely products built atop models that can extract information from audio signals. While much of the writing and literature on deep learning concerns computer vision and natural language processing (NLP), audio analysis - a field that includes automatic speech recognition (ASR), digital signal processing, and music classification, tagging, and generation - is a growing subdomain of deep learning applications.
