چکیده

In this paper, we present a new longitudinal and bilingual broadcast database designed for speaker clustering and textindependent verification research. The broadcast data is extracted from the archives of Omrop Fryslân which is the regional broadcaster in the province of Fryslân, located in the north of the Netherlands. Two speaker verification tasks are provided in a standard enrollment-test setting with language consistent trials. The first task contains target trials from all speakers available appearing in at least two different programs, while the second task contains target trials from a subgroup of speakers appearing in programs recorded in multiple years. The second task is designed to investigate the effects of ageing on the accuracy of speaker verification systems. This database also contains unlabeled spoken segments from different radio programs for speaker clustering research. We provide the output of an existing speaker diarization system for baseline verification experiments. Finally, we present the baseline speaker verification results using the Kaldi GMMand DNN-UBM speaker verification system. This database will be an extension to the recently presented open source Frisian data collection and it is publicly available for research purposes.

Investigating Bilingual Deep Neural Networks for Automatic Recognition of Code-switching Frisian Speech

In this paper, a code-switching automatic speech recognition (ASR) system built for the Frisian language is described. Frisian is mostly spoken in the province Fryslân which is located in the north of the Netherlands. The native speakers of Frisian are mostly bilingual and often code-switch in daily conversations due to the extensive influence of the Dutch language. In the scope of the FAME! Pr...

Age of acquisition and naming performance in Frisian-Dutch bilingual speakers with dementia

Age of acquisition (AoA) of words is a recognised variable affecting language processing in speakers with and without language disorders. For bi- and multilingual speakers their languages can be differentially affected in neurological illness. Study of language loss in bilingual speakers with dementia has been relatively neglected. Objective We investigated whether AoA of words was associated...

Noise Clustering-Based Speaker Verification

The normalisation method for speaker verification proposed in this paper is based on the idea of the noise clustering method in fuzzy clustering. The proposed method can reduce false acceptance errors and apply to all current normalisation scores. Experiments performed on the ANDOSL and YOHO speech corpora show better results for the proposed method.
