Exploiting GMM-based Quality Measure for SVM Speaker Verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we examine the problem of quality measurement for speaker verification using support vector machines (SVMs). An efficient Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) based quality estimation algorithm is proposed to potentially utilize speaker-specific broad acoustic-class characteristics. Some verification strategies are also considered in the test phase. We perform clustering-based vector pre-quantization to reduce the computational load and the redundancy in speech signal. Quality estimation is also integrated into test-length normalization. We then apply it to a text-independent speaker verification task using the NIST 2002 speaker recognition evaluation (SRE) database. Experimental results show that the proposed method can produce good classification accuracy.

The Robustness of GMM-SVM in Real World Applied to Speaker Verification
Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) have proven extremely successful for textindependent speaker verification. The standard training method for GMM models is to use MAP adaptation of the means of the mixture components based on speech from a target speaker. In this work we look into the various models (GMM-UBM and GMM-SVM) and their application to speaker verification. In this paper, features vector...

The problem of impostor dataset selection for GMM-based speaker verification is addressed through the recently proposed data-driven background dataset refinement technique. The SVM-based refinement technique selects from a candidate impostor dataset those examples that are most frequently selected as support vectors when training a set of SVMs on a development corpus. This study demonstrates th...

متن کاملUtterance partitioning with acoustic vector resampling for GMM-SVM speaker verification
Recent research has demonstrated the merit of combining Gaussian mixture models and support-vector-machine (SVM) for text-independent speaker verification. However, one unaddressed issue in this GMM–SVM approach is the imbalance between the numbers of speaker-class utterances and impostor-class utterances available for training a speaker-dependent SVM. This paper proposes a resampling technique...
