چکیده

This paper looks at the extraction of nonlinear turbulence information of the speech signal using Multi-Scale Fractal Dimension (MFD) as the additional feature to the convectional MFCC features. The MFD is estimated using both Box-Counting and Minkowiski-Bouligand dimensions. The proposed framework uses this feature extraction together with sub-band based speaker modeling rather than the wide-band approach. Results showed that the proposed framework with Box-Counting feature extraction improves the performance of the classical wideband approach with up 10% identification rate. Key-Words: Multi-scale fractal dimension, Box-Counting, Minkowiski-Bouligand, speaker identification

Dimension reduction for speaker identification based on mutual information

Dimension reduction is a necessary step for speech feature extraction in a speaker identification system. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) or Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is widely used for dimension reduction. By choosing basis vectors from basis vector pool of DCT or PCA which contribute more to data distribution variance or reconstruction accuracy of speech data set, we can transform th...
