## Model description
|
10 |
|
11 |
+
This model classifies UK & Ireland accents using feature extraction from [Yamnet](https://tfhub.dev/google/yamnet/1).
|
12 |
|
13 |
+
### Yamnet Model
|
14 |
+
Yamnet is an audio event classifier trained on the AudioSet dataset to predict audio events from the AudioSet ontology. It is available on TensorFlow Hub.
|
15 |
+
Yamnet accepts a 1-D tensor of audio samples with a sample rate of 16 kHz.
|
16 |
+
As output, the model returns a 3-tuple:
|
17 |
+
- Scores of shape `(N, 521)` representing the scores of the 521 classes.
|
18 |
+
- Embeddings of shape `(N, 1024)`.
|
19 |
+
- The log-mel spectrogram of the entire audio frame.
|
20 |
|
21 |
+
We will use the embeddings, which are the features extracted from the audio samples, as the input to our dense model.
|
22 |
+
|
23 |
+
For more detailed information about Yamnet, please refer to its [TensorFlow Hub](https://tfhub.dev/google/yamnet/1) page.
|
24 |
+
|
25 |
+
### Dense Model
|
26 |
+
The dense model that we used consists of:
|
27 |
+
- An input layer which is embedding output of the Yamnet classifier.
|
28 |
+
- 4 dense hidden layers and 4 dropout layers.
|
29 |
+
- An output dense layer.

## Training and evaluation data
|
32 |
|
33 |
+
The dataset used is the
|
34 |
+
[Crowdsourced high-quality UK and Ireland English Dialect speech data set](https://openslr.org/83/)
|
35 |
+
which consists of a total of 17,877 high-quality audio wav files.
|
36 |
+
|
37 |
+
This dataset includes over 31 hours of recording from 120 vounteers who self-identify as
|
38 |
+
native speakers of Southern England, Midlands, Northern England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
|
39 |
+
