Gandalf - a Swedish telephone speaker verification database
نویسنده
چکیده
The Gandalf speech database has been designed for use in research on automatic speaker verification. 86 customer speakers have been recorded in up to 24 telephone calls per speaker during a period of up to 12 months, and an additional 100 impostor speakers are currently being recorded. In addition to speech files, Gandalf includes a relational database with a twofold function: it stores information on subjects and calls, and it is a tool for making quantitative and qualitative analyses of speaker verification test data. The customer speaker part of the database is described, and some of the motivation behind the design is given. A small speaker verification experiment is then described that demonstrates how test results can be qualitatively analyzed using the relational database.

متن کاملOn Word Boundary Detection in Digit-based Speaker Verification
In an automatic speaker verification (ASV) system with prompted passwords, we use vocabulary-dependent hidden Markov models and rely on the ability to explicitly locate the corresponding words and their boundaries in the speech signal. In an experiment on 41 speakers in a Swedish telephone speech database, we compare the use of utterance segmentation produced by automatic and manual methods, an...
متن کاملSpeaker verification with ensemble classifiers based on linear speech transforms
For most classifier architectures realistic training schemes only allow classifiers corresponding to local optima of the training criteria to be constructed. One way of dealing with this problem is to work with classifier ensembles: multiple classifiers are trained for the same classification problem and combined into one “super” classifier. The problem addressed in this paper is text prompted ...

متن کاملSpeaker verification based on the German veridat database
This paper introduces the new German speaker verification (SV) database VeriDat as well as the system design, the baseline performance and the results of several experiments of our experimental speaker verification (SV) frame work. The main focus is how typical problems using real-world telephone speech can be avoided automatically by rejecting inputs to the enrollment or test material. Possibl...
