Some Experiments on Idiolectal Differences among Speakers
ثبت نشده
چکیده
It is generally recognized that human listeners can distinguish between speakers who are familiar to them far better than those who are unfamiliar. This increased ability is due no doubt to speaker idiosyncrasies that are recognized by the listener, either consciously or unconsciously. These speaker characteristics offer the possibility to significantly improve automatic speaker recognition performance, if only we were able to identify and use them.

Phonetic, idiolectal and acoustic speaker recognition
This paper describes a text-independent speaker recognition system that achieves an equal error rate of less than 1% by combining phonetic, idiolect, and acoustic features. The phonetic system is a novel language-independent speakerrecognition system based on differences among speakers in dynamic realization of phonetic features (i.e., pronunciation), rather than spectral differences in voice q...
متن کاملSpeaker recognition based on idiolectal differences between speakers
“Familiar” speaker information is explored using non-acoustic features in NIST’s new “extended data” speaker detection task.[1] Word unigrams and bigrams, used in a traditional target/background likelihood ratio framework, are shown to give surprisingly good performance. Performance continues to improve with additional training and/or test data. Bigram performance is also found to be a function...

متن کاملText-based Speaker Identification on Multiparty Dialogues Using Multi-document Convolutional Neural Networks
We propose a convolutional neural network model for text-based speaker identification on multiparty dialogues extracted from the TV show, Friends. While most previous works on this task rely heavily on acoustic features, our approach attempts to identify speakers in dialogues using their speech patterns as captured by transcriptions to the TV show. It has been shown that different individual sp...
متن کاملComparison of native and non-native phone imitation by English and Spanish speakers
Experiments investigating phonetic convergence in conversation often focus on interlocutors with similar phonetic inventories. Extending these experiments to those with dissimilar inventories requires understanding the capacity of speakers to imitate native and non-native phones. In the present study, we tested native Spanish and native English speakers to determine whether imitation of non-nat...
