    A novel biometric identification system based on fingertip electrocardiogram and speech signals
    (Elsevier Inc., 2022-03) Güven, Gökhan; Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan
    In this research work, we propose a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based biometric identification system that combines speech and ECG modalities. The aim is to find an effective identification strategy while enhancing both the confidence and the performance of the system. In our first approach, we have developed a voting-based ECG and speech fusion system to improve the overall performance compared to the conventional methods. In the second approach, we have developed a robust rejection algorithm to prevent unauthorized access to the fusion system. We also presented a newly developed ECG spike and inconsistent beats removal algorithm to detect and eliminate the problems caused by portable fingertip ECG devices and patient movements. Furthermore, we have achieved a system that can work with only one authorized user by adding a Universal Background Model to our algorithm. In the first approach, the proposed fusion system achieved a 100% accuracy rate for 90 people by taking the average of 3-fold cross-validation. In the second approach, by using 90 people as genuine classes and 26 people as imposter classes, the proposed system achieved 92% accuracy in identifying genuine classes and 96% accuracy in rejecting imposter classes.

    A new method to represent speech signals via predefined signature and envelope sequences
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007) Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    A novel systematic procedure referred to as "SYMPES" to model speech signals is introduced. The structure of SYMPES is based on the creation of the so-called predefined "signature S = {S(R)(n)} and envelope E = {E(K) (n)}" sets. These sets are speaker and language independent. Once the speech signals are divided into frames with selected lengths, then each frame sequence X(i)( n) is reconstructed by means of the mathematical form X(i)( n) = C(i)E(K) (n) S(R)(n). In this representation, C(i) is called the gain factor, S(R)(n) and E(K) (n) are properly assigned from the predefined signature and envelope sets, respectively. Examples are given to exhibit the implementation of SYMPES. It is shown that for the same compression ratio or better, SYMPES yields considerably better speech quality over the commercially available coders such as G. 726 (ADPCM) at 16 kbps and voice excited LPC-10E (FS1015) at 2.4 kbps.

    A novel method to represent speech signals
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2005-01) Akdeniz, Rafet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this work, speech signals are modeled by means of the so-called pre-defined "signature functions". The pre-defined signature functions are generated using the statistical properties of the speech signals. It has been exhibited that, with a few basic signature functions, any speech signal can be generated within a tolerable error.
