Investigating speaker features from very short speech records

A procedure is presented that is capable of extracting various speaker features, and is of particular value for analyzing records containing single words and shorter segments of speech. By taking advantage of the fast convergence properties of adaptive filtering, the approach is capable of modeling the nonstationarities due to both the vocal tract and vocal cord dynamics. Specifically, the proc...
