Application of Deep Learning for Voice Command Classification in Turkish Language

Abstract

In this study, a deep learning model was developed for the recognition and classification of voice commands using the Turkish Speech Command Dataset. The division of training, validation, and test sets was carried out on an individual basis. This approach aims to prevent the model from memorizing and to enhance its generalization capability. The model was trained using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) features extracted from voice files, and its classification performance was evaluated in detail. The findings indicate that the model successfully classifies voice commands with a high accuracy rate, achieving an overall accuracy of 92.3% on the test set, highlighting the potential of deep learning approaches in voice recognition technologies
