Abstract
In recent times, machine learning and deep learning algorithms have contributed to the advances in audio and speech recognition. Despite the progress, there is limited emphasis on the classification of cantillation audio using deep learning. This paper introduces a dataset containing two labeled styles of cantillation from six reciters. Deep learning architectures including convolutional neural networks (CNN) and deep artificial neural networks (ANN) were used to classify the recitation styles using various spectrogram features. Moreover, the classification of the six reciters was also performed using deep learning. The best performance was achieved using a CNN model and Mel spectrograms resulting in an F1-score of 0.99 on the test set for classifying recitation style and an F1-score of 1.00 on the test set for classifying reciters. The results obtained in this work outperform the existing works in the literature. The paper also discusses the impact of various audio features and deep learning algorithms that apply to audio genre and speaker identification tasks.
