The Application of a Bayesian Approach to Auditory Analysis in Forensic Speaker Identification
نویسنده
چکیده
Research into auditory analysis in forensic speaker identification has attracted little attention, yet it is regarded as an essential component of forensic speaker identification. One possible reason for this lack of interest may be associated with the difficulty of knowing how to present the results of auditory analysis in a logical and quantifiable way. The use of likelihood ratios enables these criteria to be met. In this paper, likelihood ratios for four readilyobservable phonetic features of Australian okay are calculated to demonstrate how the Bayesian approach can be applied to auditory data. These features include (1) the reduction of okay to one syllable by deletion of the initial vowel; (2) presence of lip rounding in the initial vowel; (3) palatalisation of the second vowel; and (3) presence of creaky voice.

In this paper, we will show how any speaker recognition system can be adapted to provide its results according to the bayesian approach for evidence analysis and forensic reporting. This approach, firmly established in other forensic areas as fingerprint, DNA or fiber analysis, suits the needs of both the court and the forensic scientist. We will show the inadequacy of the classical approach to...
