Speaker verification without background speaker models

چکیده
Speaker verification concerns the problem of verifying whether a given utterance has been pronounced by a claimed authorized speaker. This problem is important because an accurate speaker verification system can be applied to many security applications. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for speaker verification called OSCILLO. By applying tolerance interval analysis in statistics, OSCILLO can verify a speaker’s ID without background speaker models. This greatly reduces the space requirement of the system and the time for both training and verification. Experimental results show that OSCILLO can achieve error rates comparable or better than the GMM-based system with background speaker models for three benchmark databases: TCC-300, TIMIT and NIST 2000.

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 کاملNew background modeling for speaker verification
A new background speaker modelling method is presented in this paper for text-independent speaker verification using Gaussian mixture models. This method does not require speech databases of other speakers to build background speaker models. A background model can be built directly from the same claimed speaker's database and has a smaller number of Gaussian mixtures compared to the claimed spe...
متن کاملComparison of background normalization methods for text-independent speaker verification
This paper compares two approaches to background model representation for a text-independent speaker verification task using Gaussian mixture models. We compare speaker-dependent background speaker sets to the use of a universal, speaker-independent background model (UBM). For the UBM, we describe how Bayesian adaptation can be used to derive claimant speaker models, providing a structure leadi...
متن کاملA new adaptation approach to high-level speaker-model creation in speaker verification
Research has shown that speaker verification based on high-level speaker features requires long enrollment utterances to guarantee low error rate during verification. However, in practical speaker verification, it is common to model speakers based on a limited amount of enrollment data, which will make the speaker models unreliable. This paper proposes four new adaptation methods for creating h...
