Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), were applied to extract emotions based on spectrograms and mel-spectrograms. This study uses spectrograms and mel-spectrograms to investigate which feature extraction method better represents emotions and how big the differences in efficiency are in this context. The conducted studies demonstrated that mel-spectrograms are a better-suited...

Among the numerous applications of speech-to-text technology is the support of documentation created by medical personnel. There are many available speech recognition systems for doctors. Their effectiveness in languages such as Polish should be verified. In connection with our project in this field, we decided to check how well the popular speech recognition systems work, employing models trained for the general Polish language....

Automatic liver segmentation of Computed Tomography (CT) images is becoming increasingly important. Although there are many publications in this field there is little explanation why certain pre-processing methods were utilised. This paper presents a comparison of the commonly used approach of Hounsfield Units (HU) windowing, histogram equalisation, and a combination of these methods to try to ascertain what are the differences...
