In this work, we model speech samples with a two-sided generalized Gamma distribution and evaluate its efficiency for voice activity detection. Using a computationally inexpensive maximum likelihood approach, we employ the Bayesian Information Criterion for identifying the phoneme boundaries in noisy speech.
