Speaker Identification and Verification Using Support Vector Machines and Sparse Kernel Logistic Regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we investigate two discriminative classification approaches for frame-based speaker identification and verification, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Sparse Kernel Logistic Regression (SKLR). SVMs have already shown good results in regression and classification in several fields of pattern recognition as well as in continuous speech recognition. While the non-probabilistic output of the SVM has to be translated into conditional probabilities, the SKLR produces the probabilities directly. In speaker identification and verification experiments both discriminative classification methods outperform the standard Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) system on the POLYCOST database.

Probabilistic speaker identification with dual penalized logistic regression machine
This paper investigates a probabilistic speaker identification method based on the dual Penalized Logistic Regression Machines (dPLRMs). The machines employ kernel functions which map an acoustic feature space to a higher dimensional space as is the case with the Support Vector Machines (SVMs). Nonlinearity in discriminating each speaker is implicitly handled in this space. While SVMs maximize ...
متن کاملGini Support Vector Machine: Quadratic Entropy Based Robust Multi-Class Probability Regression
Many classification tasks require estimation of output class probabilities for use as confidence scores or for inference integrated with other models. Probability estimates derived from large margin classifiers such as support vector machines (SVMs) are often unreliable. We extend SVM large margin classification to GiniSVM maximum entropy multi-class probability regression. GiniSVM combines a q...
متن کاملSupport Vector Machines for Speaker Verification and Identification
In this paper the performance of the support vector machine (SVM) on a speaker verification task is assessed. Since speaker verification requires binary decisions, support vector machines seem to be a promising candidate to perform the task. A new technique for normalising the polynomial kernel is developed and used to achieve performance comparable to other classifiers on the YOHO database. We...
متن کاملKernel combination for SVM speaker verification
We present a new approach to construct kernels used on support vector machines for speaker verification. The idea is to learn new kernels by taking linear combination of many kernels such as the Generalized Linear Discriminant Sequence kernels (GLDS) and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) supervector kernels. In this new linear kernel combination, the weights are speaker dependent rather than univer...
متن کاملSpeaker verification with non-audible murmur segments by combining global alignment kernel and penalized logistic regression machine
We investigate a novel method for speaker verification with non-audible murmur (NAM) segments. NAM is recorded using a special microphone placed on the neck and is hard for other people to hear. We have already reported a method based on a support vector machine (SVM) using NAM segments to use a keyword phrase effectively. To further exploit keyword-specific features, we introduce a global alig...
