MEL G622: Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks

Lab 1: Introduction to MATLAB

[1] Plot a sound file, amplified and attenuated sound file in one plot using sub-plot. Use
the available audio file from the folder/link ( https://tinyurl.com/ANNlink1 ) .

1 Use MATLAB Command to load the file.

2 Plot the signal on the screen as if it is a continuous-time signal (in top plot using
sub plot).
3 Amplify the sound wave by a factor of 5 and plot.
4 Attenuate the original sound wave by a factor of 5 and plot.
5 Play the three signals via the digital-to-analog converter in your workstation with
the MATLAB sound function.

[2] Follow the instructions given below:

1 Read the LENA (https://tinyurl.com/ANNlink11) image in Tiff format from the
folder given.
2 Display this image in gray scale.
3 Crop the Image in four parts of equal size and arrange in blocks of 2*2 matrix.
4 Arrange the four blocks of [2*2] matrix in [4*1] matrix in any order of your
choice.

[3] Neural Network Toolbox provides algorithms to create, train, visualize and simulate
neural networks. You can perform classification, regression, clustering, dimensionality
reduction, time-series forecasting, dynamic system modeling and control. The objective
of this exercise is to create any simple neural network through neural network module of
MATLAB and understand the basic functionalities of toolbox. Show with an example
and their findings in the report.

Hint: Obtain simple data set of your choice from MATLAB and apply neural network
principles of training & validation and observe the results.
