Locally recurrent probabilistic neural network for text-independent speaker verification

چکیده
This paper introduces Locally Recurrent Probabilistic Neural Networks (LRPNN) as an extension of the well-known Probabilistic Neural Networks (PNN). A LRPNN, in contrast to a PNN, is sensitive to the context in which events occur, and therefore, identification of time or spatial correlations is attainable. Besides the definition of the LRPNN architecture a fast three-step training method is proposed. The first two steps are identical to the training of traditional PNNs, while the third step is based on the Differential Evolution optimization method. Finally, the superiority of LRPNNs over PNNs on the task of text-independent speaker verification is demonstrated.

Locally Recurrent Probabilistic Neural Networks with Application to Speaker Verification
To improve speaker verification performance, we extend the wellknown Probabilistic Neural Networks (PNN) to Locally Recurrent Probabilistic Neural Networks (LRPNN). In contrast to PNNs that possess no feedbacks, LRPNNs incorporate internal connections to the past outputs of all recurrent neurons, which render them sensitive to the context in which events occur. Thus, LRPNNs are capable of ident...
متن کاملGeneralized locally recurrent probabilistic neural networks with application to text-independent speaker verification
An extension of the well-known probabilistic neural network (PNN) to generalized locally recurrent PNN (GLR PNN) is introduced. The GLR PNN is derived from the original PNN by incorporating a fully connected recurrent layer between the pattern and output layers. This extension renders GLR PNN sensitive to the context in which events occur, and therefore, capable of identifying temporal and spat...
