Environment adaptation and long term parameters in speaker identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we have integrated in a GMM based speaker identi cation system two di erent techniques: a) Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression (MLLR) transformation which adapts the system to the new environment based on modifying the continuous densities of the GMM mixtures. We apply the MLLR to perform environmental compensation by reducing a mismatch due to channel or additive noise e ects, b) Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) applied on sequences of acoustic vectors. LDA extracts, from these sequences, a set of discriminant parameters maximizing the class separability by designing a linear transformation. Previous works have shown that application of LDA to speech recognition problem increases performance of speech recognition system. We use this approach to extract features that are more invariant to non-speakers-related conditions such as handset types and channel e ects. Experiments are done on 45 speaker's Spidre database.

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...

متن کاملLong term on-line speaker adaptation for large vocabulary dictation
On-line speaker adaptation is desirable for speech recognition dictation applications, because it o ers the possibility to improve the system with the speaker-speci c data obtained from the user. Since the user will work with such a device over a long period, for a dictation system the long term adaptation performance is more important than the adaptation speed. In contrast to speaker-dependent...
متن کاملMean and variance adaptation within the MLLR framework
One of the key issues for adaptation algorithms is to modify a large number of parameters with only a small amount of adaptation data. Speaker adaptation techniques try to obtain near speaker dependent (SD) performance with only small amounts of speaker speciic data, and are often based on initial speaker independent (SI) recognition systems. Some of these speaker adaptation techniques may also...
متن کاملOn speaker adaptation of long short-term memory recurrent neural networks
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture specializing in modeling long-range temporal dynamics. On acoustic modeling tasks, LSTM-RNNs have shown better performance than DNNs and conventional RNNs. In this paper, we conduct an extensive study on speaker adaptation of LSTM-RNNs. Speaker adaptation helps to reduce the mismatch between acoustic models and testi...
