Forensic Voice Comparison Using Chinese /iau/
نویسندگان
چکیده
An acoustic-phonetic forensic-voice-comparison system extracted information from the formant trajectories of tokens of Standard Chinese /iau/. When this information was added to a generic automatic forensic-voice-comparison system, which did not itself exploit acoustic-phonetic information, there was a substantial improvement in system validity but a decline in system reliability.

An Investigation of Automatic Phonetic-Unit Selection for Forensic Voice Comparison
A hybrid Hidden Markov Model (HMM) Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) system was proposed to automatically select tokens of /iau/, /ai/, /ei/, /m/ and /n/ in a database of recordings of Standard-Chinese speech collected under studio-clean, mobile-landline degraded and mismatched recording conditions. The FVC systems constructed were all MFCC GMM-UBM systems, but based on different portions of the rec...
متن کاملLaboratory Report: Human-supervised and fully-automatic formant-trajectory measurement for forensic voice comparison – Female voices
Acoustic-phonetic approaches to forensic voice comparison often include analysis of vowel formants. Such methods typically depend on human-supervised formant measurement, which is often assumed to be relatively reliable and relatively robust to telephonetransmission-channel effects, but which requires substantial investment of human labor. Fully-automatic formant trackers require minimal human ...
متن کاملA first attempt at compensating for effects due to recording-condition mismatch in formant-trajectory-based forensic voice comparison
This paper reports the results of a first attempt at compensating for variability in formant-trajectory representations due to differences in suspect and offender recording conditions. Formant-trajectory measurements were made on tokens of /iau/ in a database of high-quality and mobile-to-landline-transmitted recordings of 60 female speakers of Chinese. Discrete cosine transforms (DCT) were fit...

This study compares three statistical models used to calculate likelihood ratios in acoustic-phonetic forensic-voicecomparison systems: Multivariate kernel density, principal component analysis kernel density, and a multivariate normal model. The data were coefficient values obtained from discrete cosine transforms fitted to human-supervised formant-trajectory measurements of tokens of /iau/ fr...
متن کاملVoice source features for forensic voice comparison - an evaluation of the GLOTTEX software package
GLOTTEX R ⃝ is a software package which extracts information about voice source properties, including estimates of properties related to physical structures of the vocal folds. It has been proposed that the output of GLOTTEX R ⃝ can be used as part of a forensic-voice-comparison system. We test this using manually labeled segments from a database of voice recordings of 60 female Chinese speaker...
