Speech is a fundamental means of human interaction. Speaker Identification (SI) plays a crucial role in various applications, such as authentication systems, forensic investigation, and personal voice assistance. However, achieving robust and secure SI in both open and closed environments remains challenging. To address this issue, researchers have explored new techniques that enable computers to better understand and interact with humans. Smart systems leverage Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to mimic the human brain in identifying speakers. However, speech signals often suffer from interference, leading to signal degradation. The performance of a Speaker Identification System (SIS) is influenced by various environmental factors, such as noise and reverberation in open and closed environments, respectively. This research paper is concerned with the investigation of SI using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) and polynomial coefficients, with an ANN serving as the classifier. To tackle the challenges posed by environmental interference, we propose a novel approach that depends on symmetric comb filters for modeling. In closed environments, we study the effect of reverberation on speech signals, as it occurs due to multiple reflections. To address this issue, we model the reverberation effect with comb filters. We explore different domains, including time, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), and Discrete Sine Transform (DST) domains for feature extraction to determine the best combination for SI in case of reverberation environments. Simulation results reveal that DWT outperforms other transforms, leading to a recognition rate of 93.75% at a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 15 dB. Additionally, we investigate the concept of cancelable SI to ensure user privacy, while maintaining high recognition rates. Our simulation results show a recognition rate of 97.5% at 0 dB using features extracted from speech signals and their DCTs. Fo

Accurate and timely diagnosis of pulmonary diseases is critical in the field of medical imaging. While deep learning models have shown promise in this regard, the current methods for developing such models often require extensive computing resources and complex procedures, rendering them impractical. This study focuses on the development of a lightweight deep-learning model for the detection of pulmonary diseases. Leveraging the benefits of knowledge distillation (KD) and the integration of the ConvMixer block, we propose a novel lightweight student model based on the MobileNet architecture. The methodology begins with training multiple teacher model candidates to identify the most suitable teacher model. Subsequently, KD is employed, utilizing the insights of this robust teacher model to enhance the performance of the student model. The objective is to reduce the student model's parameter size and computational complexity while preserving its diagnostic accuracy. We perform an in-depth analysis of our proposed model's performance compared to various well-established pre-trained student models, including MobileNetV2, ResNet50, InceptionV3, Xception, and NasNetMobile. Through extensive experimentation and evaluation across diverse datasets, including chest X-rays of different pulmonary diseases such as pneumonia, COVID-19, tuberculosis, and pneumothorax, we demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of our proposed model in diagnosing various chest infections. Our model showcases superior performance, achieving an impressive classification accuracy of 97.92%. We emphasize the significant reduction in model complexity, with 0.63 million parameters, allowing for efficient inference and rapid prediction times, rendering it ideal for resource-constrained environments. Outperforming various pre-trained student models in terms of overall performance and computation cost, our findings underscore the effectiveness of the proposed KD strategy and the integration of the Conv
