Multi Filter Bank Approach for Speaker Verification Based on Genetic Algorithm

چکیده
Speech recognition systems usually need a feature extraction stage which aims at obtaining the best signal representation. State of the art speaker verification systems are based on cepstral features like MFCC, LFCC or LPCC. In this article, we propose a feature extraction system based on the combination of three feature extractors adapted to the speaker verification task. A genetic algorithm is used to optimize the features complementarities. This optimization consists in designing a set of three non linear scaled filter banks. Experiments are carried out using a state of the art speaker verification system. Results show that the proposed method improves significantly the system performances on the 2005 Nist SRE Database. Furthermore, the obtained feature extractors show the importance of some specific spectral information for speaker verification.

Speaker Verification Using Short Utterances with DNN-Based Estimation of Subglottal Acoustic Features
Speaker verification in real-world applications sometimes deals with limited duration of enrollment and/or test data. MFCC-based i-vector systems have defined the state-of-the-art for speaker verification, but it is well known that they are less effective with short utterances. To address this issue, we propose a method to leverage the speaker specificity and stationarity of subglottal acoustic...

This paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. The power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a RL low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which comprises an RL in series with an IGBT based voltage source converter. The filter is assumed...

In this paper a novel feature enhancing method for channel robustness with short utterances is employed. The transform reduces the time-varying component of the channel distortion by applying a band-pass filter along the filter-bank domain on a frame-by-frame basis. This procedure enhances the channel cancelling effect given by techniques based on feature trajectory filtering. The transformatio...
متن کاملFeature Selection Using Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm with Support Vector Machine
Different approaches have been proposed for feature selection to obtain suitable features subset among all features. These methods search feature space for feature subsets which satisfies some criteria or optimizes several objective functions. The objective functions are divided into two main groups: filter and wrapper methods. In filter methods, features subsets are selected due to some measu...
