  • Abstract
    In this paper, a novel method for voiced/unvoiced/silence of speech classification using the support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. This classifier can correctly classify speech frames into voiced frame, unvoiced frame and silence frame. The comparison of experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other traditional methods. The performance of SVM for different kernel functions in the experiment was analyzed and discussed as well.
