Explicit modelling of session variability for speaker verification
This article describes a general and powerful approach to modelling mismatch in speaker recognition by including an explicit session term in the Gaussian mixture speaker modelling framework. Under this approach, the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) that best represents the observations of a particular recording is the combination of the true speaker model with an additional session-dependent offset...
متن کاملWithin-session variability modelling for factor analysis speaker verification
This work presents an extended Joint Factor Analysis model including explicit modelling of unwanted within-session variability. The goals of the proposed extended JFA model are to improve verification performance with short utterances by compensating for the effects of limited or imbalanced phonetic coverage, and to produce a flexible JFA model that is effective over a wide range of utterance l...
متن کاملSVM Speaker Verification Using Session Variability Modelling and GMM Supervectors
This paper demonstrates that modelling session variability during GMM training can improve the performance of a GMM supervector SVM speaker verification system. Recently, a method of modelling session variability in GMM-UBM systems has led to significant improvements when the training and testing conditions are subject to session effects. In this work, session variability modelling is applied d...
متن کاملModelling session variability in text-independent speaker verification
Presented is an approach to modelling session variability for GMM-based text-independent speaker verification incorporating a constrained session variability component in both the training and testing procedures. The proposed technique reduces the data labelling requirements and removes discrete categorisation needed by techniques such as feature mapping and H-Norm, while providing superior per...
متن کاملDecoupling session variability modelling and speaker characterisation
The Factor Analysis framework demonstrated its high power to model session variability during the past years. However, training the FA parameters implies to have a large amount of training data. When the size of the available database is limited, the number of components of the core statistical model, the UBM, is also limited as the UBM drives the dimension of the FA main matrix. As the size of...
