Abstract
PurposeCreate and share a MATLAB library that performs data augmentation algorithms for audio data. This study aims to help machine learning researchers to improve their models using the algorithms proposed by the authors.Design/methodology/approachThe authors structured our library into methods to augment raw audio data and spectrograms. In the paper, the authors describe the structure of the library and give a brief explanation of how every function works. The authors then perform experiments to show that the library is effective.FindingsThe authors prove that the library is efficient using a competitive dataset. The authors try multiple data augmentation approaches proposed by them and show that they improve the performance.Originality/valueA MATLAB library specifically designed for data augmentation was not available before. The authors are the first to provide an efficient and parallel implementation of a large number of algorithms.
期刊介绍:
Applied Computing and Informatics aims to be timely in disseminating leading-edge knowledge to researchers, practitioners and academics whose interest is in the latest developments in applied computing and information systems concepts, strategies, practices, tools and technologies. In particular, the journal encourages research studies that have significant contributions to make to the continuous development and improvement of IT practices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other countries. By doing so, the journal attempts to bridge the gap between the academic and industrial community, and therefore, welcomes theoretically grounded, methodologically sound research studies that address various IT-related problems and innovations of an applied nature. The journal will serve as a forum for practitioners, researchers, managers and IT policy makers to share their knowledge and experience in the design, development, implementation, management and evaluation of various IT applications. Contributions may deal with, but are not limited to: • Internet and E-Commerce Architecture, Infrastructure, Models, Deployment Strategies and Methodologies. • E-Business and E-Government Adoption. • Mobile Commerce and their Applications. • Applied Telecommunication Networks. • Software Engineering Approaches, Methodologies, Techniques, and Tools. • Applied Data Mining and Warehousing. • Information Strategic Planning and Recourse Management. • Applied Wireless Computing. • Enterprise Resource Planning Systems. • IT Education. • Societal, Cultural, and Ethical Issues of IT. • Policy, Legal and Global Issues of IT. • Enterprise Database Technology.
