Language Recognition via i-vectors and Dimensionality Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new language identification system is presented based on the total variability approach previously developed in the field of speaker identification. Various techniques are employed to extract the most salient features in the lower dimensional i-vector space and the system developed results in excellent performance on the 2009 LRE evaluation set without the need for any post-processing or backend techniques. Additional performance gains are observed when the system is combined with other acoustic systems.

2D Dimensionality Reduction Methods without Loss
In this paper, several two-dimensional extensions of principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) techniques has been applied in a lossless dimensionality reduction framework, for face recognition application. In this framework, the benefits of dimensionality reduction were used to improve the performance of its predictive model, which was a support vector machine (...
متن کاملVector-based spoken language recognition using output coding
The vector-based spoken language recognition approach converts a spoken utterance into a high dimensional vector, also known as a bag-of-sounds vector, that consists of n-gram statistics of acoustic units. Dimensionality reduction would better prepare the bag-of-sounds vectors for classifier design. We propose projecting the bag-of-sounds vectors onto a low dimensional SVM output coding space, ...
متن کاملNative accent classification via i-vectors and speaker compensation fusion
We present a comprehensive analysis of the use of I-vector based classifiers for the classification of unlabelled acoustic data as native British accents. We demonstrate the different behaviours of various popular dimensionality reduction techniques that have been previously used in problems such as speaker and language classification. Our results show that a fusion of I-vector based systems gi...
متن کاملA Multi Linear Discriminant Analysis Method Using a Subtraction Criteria
Linear dimension reduction has been used in different application such as image processing and pattern recognition. All these data folds the original data to vectors and project them to an small dimensions. But in some applications such we may face with data that are not vectors such as image data. Folding the multidimensional data to vectors causes curse of dimensionality and mixed the differe...
متن کاملDimensionality reduction of phone log-likelihood ratio features for spoken language recognition
In a previous work, we introduced the use of log-likelihood ratios of phone posterior probabilities, called Phone LogLikelihood Ratios (PLLR) as features for language recognition under an iVector-based approach, yielding high performance and promising results. However, the high dimensionality of the PLLR feature vectors (with regard to MFCC/SDC features) results in comparatively higher computat...
