This Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is the process which converts an acoustic signal captured by the microphone to written text. The motivation of the paper is to create a speech based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for C program. This paper proposes a technique to facilitate the visually impaired people or the person with arm injuries with excellent programming skills that can code the C program through voice input. The proposed system accepts the C program as voice input and produces compiled C program as output. The user should utter each line of the C program through voice input. First the voice input is recognized as text. The recognized text will be converted into C program by using syntactic constructs of the C language. After conversion, C program will be fetched as input to the IDE. Furthermore, the IDE commands like open, save, close, compile, run are also given through voice input only. If any error occurs during the compilation process, the error is corrected through voice input only. The errors can be corrected by specifying the line number through voice input. Performance of the speech recognition system is analyzed by varying the vocabulary size as well as number of mixture components in HMM.
In this paper, an optimized bilevel brain tumor diagnostic system for identifying the tumor type at the first level and grade of the identified tumor at the second level is proposed using genetic algorithm, decision tree, and fuzzy rule-based approach. The dataset is composed of axial MRI of brain tumor types and grades. From the images, various features such as first and second order statistical and textural features are extracted (26 features). In the first level, tumor type classification was done using decision tree constructed with all features. Further evolutionary computing using genetic algorithms (GA) was applied to select the optimal discriminating feature set (5 features) and classification using the decision tree constructed with the reduced feature set resulted in better performance. In the second level, grade classification, a fuzzy rule-based approach was used to resolve the uncertainty in discriminating the tumor grades II and III. Membership functions of all grades were defined for all features extracted from brain tumor grade images, to derive the fuzzy inference rules for grade discrimination. Similar to type classification with GA, better grade discrimination performance was exhibited with fuzzy inference rules derived using optimal feature set (13 features) using GA. Overall performance comparison of the proposed bilevel classifier with all features vs GA-based feature selection, shows that evolutionary computing combined with fuzzy rule-based approach is successful in reducing false positives, thereby enhancing classifier performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
