Abstract

In this paper, we introduce mel-cepstrum modulation energy (MCME) for a feature to discriminate speech and music data. MCME is a mel-cepstrum domain extension of modulation energy (ME). MCME is extracted on the time trajectory of Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, while ME is based on the spectrum. As cepstral coefficients are mutually uncorrelated, we expect the MCME to perform better than the ME. To find out the best modulation frequency for MCME, we perform experiments with 4 Hz to 20 Hz modulation frequency. To show effectiveness of the proposed feature, MCME, we compare the discrimination accuracy with the results obtained from the ME and the cepstral flux.
