In this work, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is suggested for speaker identification in text-independent mode. Mel-Frequency Energy Coefficients (MFEC) method was used for extracting the characteristics of audio signals and the obtained coefficients were injected into the convolutional neural network model for classification (identification). In addition, a comparison was made between the proposed method and the existing traditional methods. Experimental results show that the proposed structure resulted in a speaker identification rate of 97.89%, which is much higher than the rates obtained in the old state of the art methods.","PeriodicalId":127735,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd International Workshop on Human-Centric Smart Environments for Health and Well-being (IHSH)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132390211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to get accurate representation of the real turbines, the main factors influencing the operating state of the system must be considered during the development of the model. Stochastic dependencies between components are among the important factors in determining reliability and unexpected system's failures. The main objective of our work is developing a multiagent simulator using the Netlogo platform that allows the representation of the behavior of a wind turbine and different failure scenarios considering the impact of stochastic inter-components dependencies, weather conditions and system configuration. A comparison between the reliability parameters is performed in both conditions (dependent and independent components). The results obtained show the usefulness of considering the existence of stochastic dependencies when predicting and optimizing the wind turbines reliability and availability.","PeriodicalId":127735,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd International Workshop on Human-Centric Smart Environments for Health and Well-being (IHSH)","volume":"193 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131583071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
