Designing a Speaker-discrim Filter Bank for Speake
نویسنده
چکیده
A new filter bank approach for speaker recognition front-end is proposed. The conventional mel-scaled filter bank is replaced with a speaker-discriminative filter bank. Filter bank is selected from a library in adaptive basis, based on the broad phoneme class of the input frame. Each phoneme class is associated with its own filter bank. Each filter bank is designed in a way that emphasizes discriminative subbands that are characteristic for that phoneme. Experiments on TIMIT corpus show that the proposed method outperforms traditional MFCC features.

متن کاملA Distance measure Between GMMs Based o its Application to Speake
This paper proposes a dissimilarity measure between two Gaussian mixture models (GMM). Computing a distance measure between two GMMs that were learned from speech segments is a key element in speaker verification, speaker segmentation and many other related applications. A natural measure between two distributions is the Kullback-Leibler divergence. However, it cannot be analytically computed i...
متن کاملFilter Bank Feature Extraction for Gaussian Mixture Model Speaker Recognition
Speaker Recognition is the task of identifying an individual from their voice. Typically this task is performed in two consecutive stages: feature extraction and classification. Using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) classifier different filter-bank configurations were compared as feature extraction techniques for speaker recognition. The filter-banks were also compared to the popular Mel-Frequen...
متن کاملMulti Filter Bank Approach for Speaker Verification Based on Genetic Algorithm
Speech recognition systems usually need a feature extraction stage which aims at obtaining the best signal representation. State of the art speaker verification systems are based on cepstral features like MFCC, LFCC or LPCC. In this article, we propose a feature extraction system based on the combination of three feature extractors adapted to the speaker verification task. A genetic algorithm i...
متن کاملLanguage and Text-Independent Speaker Identification System Using GMM
This paper motivates the use of Dynamic Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (DMFCC) feature and combination of DMFCC and MFCC features for robust language and text-independent speaker identification. MFCC feature, modeled on the human auditory system has been the widely used feature for speaker recognition because of its less vulnerability to noise perturbation and little session variability. Bu...
