A Hybrid Unsupervised Segmentation Algorithm for Arabic Speech Using Feature Fusion and a Genetic Algorithm (July 2018)

Speech is the most natural form of human communication. Major achievements have been made in developing systems that automatically recognize human speech and respond to it. An important preprocessing step in speech recognition systems (and other applications) is segmentation. Such a step is important in identifying the high-level semantics of speech sounds, including syllables, consonants, vowels ..., and so on. There are basically two general...
