Within-speaker variability in the VeriVox database
نویسنده
چکیده
The present paper contains some data on acoustic speech variations due to different speaking manners found in the VeriVox speech database. The database was recorded using special software aimed at getting both voluntary and involuntary speech variations. Some involuntary variations, speech in noise and speech when other tasks interfere, has been studied. Data on speaking rate, loudness, F0 and formant frequencies are discussed.

Speaker verification with elicited speaking styles in the VeriVox project
Some experiments to take care of within speaker variations in speaker verification has been performed. To get speaker variation, speaking behaviour elicitation software has been developed. It was found that if an ASV system was trained on varied speech, speaker verification on even more varied speech improved significantly.
متن کاملEffect of Within- and Between-Speaker Variability in Voice Quality on Speaker Recognition
The variability in voice quality is a critical factor in most of speech-related applications, but studies regarding this variability are scarce due to the absence of an adequate database. Based on the newly developing database, this study examines the effect of withinand between-speaker variability on speaker recognition systems. The preliminary results with a subset of the database show that v...
متن کاملWithin-speaker variability due to speaking manners
Some preliminary investigations of within-speaker variations due to voluntary and induced speaking manners have been performed. The ultimate aim of the investigations was to suggest methods to take care of within-speaker variations in automatic speaker verification. Special software was developed to systematically elicit different types of voluntary and involuntary speech variations that might ...
متن کاملLong term examination of intra-session and inter-session speaker variability
Session variability in speaker recognition is a well recognized phenomena, but poorly understood largely due to a dearth of robust longitudinal data. The current study uses a large, longterm speaker database to quantify both speaker variability changes within a conversation and the impact of speaker variability changes over the long term (3 years). Results demonstrate that 1) change in accuracy...
