The Application of Extreme Learning Machine and Support Vector Machine in Speech Endpoint Detection

Abstract

In this paper, a general voice activity detection (VAD) method based on pattern recognition is proposed, and a specific algorithm of endpoint detection is researched. In this method, the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used as the training and recognition model. The simulation results indicates that ELM and GA-SVM have the same superior endpoint detection accuracy, and recognition time were similar, but the training time of ELM only up to a 1/2000 of the GA-SVM, the robustness of ELM and GA-SVM is greatly improved in noisy environment compare with the traditional VAD that depends on time-domain energy and zero crossing rate.
