Abstract [eng] The objective of this study is to classify Lithuanian words recorded in audio files by predicting the speaker's gender. Initially, the Hilbert transform was applied to the speech signals. Subsequently, after finding the optimal parameters, the smoothing of the speech signals was performed. Finally, the classification was done by using three classifiers: K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine and Random Forest. All classifiers were applied to both functional and multivariate data after utilizing Functional Data Analysis. Evaluation of the results revealed that the Random Forest classifier for multivariate data was the most effective, achieving an accuracy of 82.60 % in predicting the speaker's gender.
