Pitch-dependent GMMs for text-independent speaker recognition systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) and ergodic hidden Markov models (HMMs) have been successfully applied to model short-term acoustic vectors for speaker recognition systems. Prosodic features are known to carry information concerning the speaker’s identity and they can be combined with the short-term acoustic vectors in order to increase the performance of the speaker recognition system. In this paper, a statistical approach using pitch-dependent GMMs for modeling speakers is presented. This new approach is capable of simultaneously modeling the statistical distributions of the short-term acoustic vectors and long-term prosodic features.

Minimum classification error training for speaker identification using Gaussian mixture models based on multi-space probability distribution
In our previous work, we have proposed a speaker modeling technique using spectral and pitch features for text-independent speaker identification based on Multi-Space Probability Distribution Gaussian Mixture Models (MSD-GMMs). We have presented a maximum likelihood (ML) estimation procedure for the MSD-GMM parameters and demonstrated its high recognition performance. In this paper, we describe...
متن کاملLearning the decision function for speaker verification
This paper explores the possibility to replace the usual thresholding decision rule of log likelihood ratios used in speaker verification systems by more complex and discriminant decision functions based for instance on Linear Regression models or Support Vector Machines. Current speaker verification systems, based on generative models such as HMMs or GMMs, can indeed easily be adapted to use s...
متن کاملKernel Based Text-independnent Speaker Verification
The goal of a person authentication system is to authenticate the claimed identity of a user. When this authentication is based on the voice of the user, without respect of what the user exactly said, the system is called a text-independent speaker verification system. Speaker verification systems are increasingly often used to secure personal information, particularly for mobile phone based ap...
متن کاملPitch Correlogram Clustering for Fast Speaker Identification
Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) are commonly used in text-independent speaker identification systems. However, for large speaker databases, their high computational run-time limits their use in online or real-time speaker identification situations. Two-stage identification systems, in which the database is partitioned into clusters based on some proximity criteria and only a single-cluster GMM i...
متن کاملText-independent Speaker Identification Based on MAP Channel Compensation and Pitch-dependent Features
One major source of performance decline in speaker recognition system is channel mismatch between training and testing. This paper focuses on improving channel robustness of speaker recognition system in two aspects of channel compensation technique and channel robust features. The system is text-independent speaker identification system based on two-stage recognition. In the aspect of channel ...
