Improved Frame-Wise Segmentation of Audio Signals for Smart Hearing Aid Using Particle Swarm Optimization-Based Clustering

Algorithm 1

PSO-based clustering for audio speech signals.
Initialize signals with a constant value of energy and deploy in a specified area.
Initially, assign 10% of n signals to cluster nodes at random.
For i: 1 to n
Calculate distance (F1) = di, m + 1
Minimum distance = Euclidean distance value from signal i to BSm + 1
If (minimum distance > distance)
Node.id = i
End if
For j: 1 to m (total number of CH)
Calculate distance (F2) = djm (distance from signal j to CHm)
If (minimum distance > distance)
Minimum distance = distance
Node.id = j
End if
Store the distance in an array (A) which maintains values for clusters
A (Node.id).sum = A (Node.id).sum + minimum_distance
A (Node.id).num = A.(Node.id).num + 1
 End for
End for
For k: 1 to m (total number of CH)
Calculate distance (F3) = dk, m + 1
If (minimum distance > distance)
Minimum distance = distance
Cluster.id = k
End if
Store the distance in an array (A) which maintains values for clusters
A (cluster.id).sum = A (cluster.id).sum + minimum_distance
A (cluster.id).num = A(cluster.id).num + 1
End for
Calculate the total energy
Fitness function value for each node
For i: 1 to n
Fitness (clustering) = (0.25 ∗ F1) + (0.25 ∗ F2) + (0.25 ∗ F3) + (0.25 ∗ F4)
