A Model-based Approach to Speaker Identification using Class-specific Dictionaries
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research we propose a novel speaker identification algorithm by formulating the pattern recognition task as a problem of linear regression. Essentially the concept of GMMmean supervector is used to transform variable-length utterances to fixed-length feature vectors. Training utterances from each speaker are used to develop class-specific dictionaries. The unknown test utterance is linearly modeled with each subspace and decision is ruled in favor of the speaker model with the minimum reconstruction error. Experiments on the TIMIT [1] database has shown efficacy of the proposed approach compared to the state-of-art approaches.

A New Method for Speech Enhancement Based on Incoherent Model Learning in Wavelet Transform Domain
Quality of speech signal significantly reduces in the presence of environmental noise signals and leads to the imperfect performance of hearing aid devices, automatic speech recognition systems, and mobile phones. In this paper, the single channel speech enhancement of the corrupted signals by the additive noise signals is considered. A dictionary-based algorithm is proposed to train the speech...

A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...

متن کاملParallel Dictionary Learning Using a Joint Density Restricted Boltzmann Machine for Sparse-representation-based Voice Conversion
In voice conversion, sparse-representation-based methods have recently been garnering attention because they are, relatively speaking, not affected by over-fitting or over-smoothing problems. In these approaches, voice conversion is achieved by estimating a sparse vector that determines which dictionaries of the target speaker should be used, calculated from the matching of the input vector and...
متن کاملDesign of nonlinear parity approach to fault detection and identification based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model and unknown input observer in nonlinear systems
In this study, a novel fault detection scheme is developed for a class of nonlinear system in the presence of sensor noise. A nonlinear Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model is implemented to create multiple models. While the T-S fuzzy model is used for only the nonlinear distribution matrix of the fault and measurement signals, a larger category of nonlinear systems is considered. Next, a mapping to decou...
