Abstract

The field of study interested in the development of computer algorithm for transforming data into intelligent actions is known as machine learning. The paper investigates different machine learning classification algorithms and their effectiveness in environmental sound recognition. Efforts are made in selecting the suitable audio feature extraction technique and finding a direct connection between audio feature extraction technique and the quality of the algorithm performance. These techniques are compared to determine the most suitable for solving the problem of environmental sound recognition.
