Speaker recognition for speech under face cover
نویسندگان
چکیده
Speech under face cover constitute a case that is increasingly met by forensic speech experts. Wearing face cover mostly happens when an individual strives to conceal his or her identity. Based on the material of face cover and the level of contact with speech production organs, speech production becomes affected by face mask and a part of speech energy gets absorbed in the mask. There has been little research on how speech acoustics is affected by different face masks and how face covers might affect performance of automatic speaker recognition systems. In the present paper, we have collected speech under face mask with the aim of studying the effects of wearing different masks on state-of-the-art text-independent automatic speaker recognition system. The preliminary speaker recognition rates along with mask identification experiments are presented in this paper.

A Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...

Speaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
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...
