Proposta de dissertação do MEI Título: Classification of Similar Sounds and Rejection of Unknown Samples Proponente(s): Joaquim Francisco Ferreira da Silva Créditos: 42 ECTS Área científica: Decision Support and Artificial Intelligence Início preferencial: Qualquer semestre URL: Já estão em curso trabalhos preliminares executados pelo alunos: Breve descrição: The focus of this thesis is to classify similar sounds, for example sounds produced by metals, sounds produced by similar musical instruments, or others of a similar nature to each other. The main task is to obtain / construct as small a number of features as possible and with high discriminant power to achieve a quality training phase and, consequently, good results in the classification of new sounds. But we also want to be able to reject sounds whose class has not been learned in the training phase. Observações: The student should have some knowledge in the area of Machine Learning. All necessary support will be given to the student.
