Constructing Qur’an Recitation Classification using Alexnet Algorithm

The growing demands for accurate and efficient methods in the Qur'an recitation classification highlight the limitations of existing models, particularly in assisting the memorization process. This study aims to address these challenges by implementing the AlexNet Convolutional Neural Network architecture, widely recognized for its effectiveness in image classification, to classify the Qur'an recitations using the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) as the feature extraction method. The research involves several stages, including data collection, preprocessing (audio segmentation by verse), data augmentation, feature extraction, and classification using the AlexNet architecture, followed by performance evaluation. Key results demonstrate that the combination of MFCC and AlexNet yields promising accuracy in classifying Surah Al-Ikhlas recitations, suggesting its potential application for automatic reading correction. This approach significantly improves over traditional methods, contributing to more effective tools for Qur'an memorization assistance. Future work could explore its application in other significant improvement contexts and address potential challenges related to varying audio quality.
