Advances on HMM-based text-dependent speaker verification

چکیده
This paper presents recent development on text-dependent speaker verification technology in EU project PICASSO, which have improved the SV performance significantly. In the project we adopt HMM approach for pattern matching. In the paper we describes four different techniques, adaptive variance flooring, multiple use of enrolment sample, generalised competitive measurement for score normalisation and hybrid method for score normalisation to improve HMM method for speaker verification. The evaluation results are given for each of these techniques.

Speech detection for text-dependent speaker verification
The performance of text-dependent speaker verification systems degrades in noisy environment and when the true speaker utters words that are not part of the verification password. Energy-based voice activity detection (VAD) algorithms cannot distinguish between the true speaker’s speech and other background speech or between the speaker’s verification password and other words uttered by the spe...
متن کاملUnsupervised learning of HMM topology for text-dependent speaker verification
Usually, text-dependent speaker verification can achieve better performance than text-independent system because of the constraint that the enrollment and testing utterance share the same phonetic content. However, the enrollment data for text-dependent system usually is very limited. Expectation Maximization(EM) training of HMM will suffer from noisy estimation because of limited enrollment. A...
متن کاملSupport vector machines based text dependent speaker verification using HMM supervectors
Conventional subword based hidden Markov models (HMMs) have proven to be an effective approach for text-dependent speaker verification. The standard training method works by modeling the MAP adapted means of subword HMMs. In this paper, we propose the use of HMM supervectors from the speaker models as features in support vector machines (SVMs) classifier. An HMM supervector is constructed by st...
متن کاملText Dependent Speaker Verification Using Un-Supervised HMM-UBM and Temporal GMM-UBM
In this paper, we investigate the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and the temporal Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) systems based on the Universal Background Model (UBM) concept to capture temporal information of speech for Text Dependent (TD) Speaker Verification (SV). In TD-SV, target speakers are constrained to use only predefined fixed sentence/s during both the enrollment and the test process. The t...
متن کاملA robust speaker verification system against imposture using an HMM-based speech synthesis system
This paper describes a text-prompted speaker verification system which is robust to imposture using synthetic speech generated by an HMM-based speech synthesis system. In the verification system, text and speaker are verified separately. Text verification is based on phoneme recognition using HMM, and speaker verification is based on GMM. To discriminate synthetic speech from natural speech, an...
