This document provides an overview of a student project that evaluates the performance of log spectrograms and Mel spectrograms for acoustic analysis using deep learning models. The project will extract features from audio datasets using both spectrogram types and test convolutional and recurrent neural networks. Existing systems typically use Mel spectrograms, which apply a mathematical operation to convert frequencies to the Mel scale. The student will analyze which spectrogram performs better for tasks like speech recognition, anomaly detection, and music analysis.
