An implementation and evaluation of an on-line speaker verification system for field trials

چکیده
This paper presents a HMM-based speaker verification system which was implemented for a field trial. One of the challenges for moving HMM from speech recognition to speaker verification is to understand the HMM score variation and to define a proper measurement which is comparable across speech samples. In this paper we define two basic verification measurements, a qualifier-based measurement and a competition-based measurement, and examine score normalisation approaches using these two measurements. This leads to some useful theoretical differentiation between cohort model and world model approaches used for HMM score normalisation. We adopted a world model method for score normalisation in the system. The adaptive variance flooring technique is also implemented in the system. The paper presents evaluation results of the implementation.

Using Exciting and Spectral Envelope Information and Matrix Quantization for Improvement of the Speaker Verification Systems
Speaker verification from talking a few words of sentences has many applications. Many methods as DTW, HMM, VQ and MQ can be used for speaker verification. We applied MQ for its precise, reliable and robust performance with computational simplicity. We also used pitch frequency and log gain contour for further improvement of the system performance.

متن کاملEvaluation of Clinical Trials
In a number of important clinical issues such as evaluation of the efficacy or effectiveness of therapeutic or preventive interventions as well as for comparing the harms of interventions, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) provide the highest levels of evidence, either directly or indirectly. It is obvious that critical appraisal of these studies to assess their validity and precision is of p...
