Bootstrapping for speaker recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The technique known as bootstrapping or resampling has been used effectively in the field of statistics to obtain good estimates of statistics from only a small set of observations. In this paper we explore the use of this powerful technique to aid in improving the performance of a GMM-UBM text-independent speaker recognition system. We apply the bootstrap to the training process in the generation of speaker models for the GMM-UBM system. We also aggregate the outputs of the bootstrap’s multiple speaker models in our bagging system. Speaker recognition results of our bootstrap and bagging systems are presented on NIST corpora.

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...

Speech recognition for multiple non-native accent groups with speaker-group-dependent acoustic models
In this paper, the recognition performance for non-native English speech with two different kinds of speaker-groupdependent acoustic models is investigated. The approaches for creating speaker groups include knowledge-based grouping of non-native speakers by their first language, and the automatic clustering of speakers. Clustering is based on speakerdependent acoustic models in speaker Eigensp...
