Investigation of Spontaneous Speech Characterization Applied to Speaker Role Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracting information from large data is a challenging task. In this paper, we investigate the link between speech spontaneity levels and speaker roles, and the relevance to use an automatic spontaneous speech characterization as a speaker role identification feature. Applying this automatic spontaneous speech characterization system to a broadcast news corpus containing ten manually labeled speaker roles allowed us to highlight this relationship. So, we propose to directly apply the spontaneous speech characterization approach in order to automatically recognize speaker roles. Experimental results show that characteristics used to detect speech spontaneity could be very useful to recognize speaker roles, as we reached an overall classification precision of 74.4%.

Speaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...

متن کاملA Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...

Although, speech recognition systems are widely used and their accuracies are continuously increased, there is a considerable performance gap between their accuracies and human recognition ability. This is partially due to high speaker variations in speech signal. Deep neural networks are among the best tools for acoustic modeling. Recently, using hybrid deep neural network and hidden Markov mo...
