Maximum a Posteriori Model Adaptation

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the use of brain activity for person authentication. It has been shown in previous studies that the brain-wave pattern of every individual is unique and that the electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used for biometric identification. EEG-based biometry is an emerging research topic and we believe that it may open new research directions and applications in the future. However, very little work has been done in this area and was focusing mainly on person identification but not on person authentication. Person authentication aims to accept or to reject a person claiming an identity, i.e comparing a biometric data to one template, while the goal of person identification is to match the biometric data against all the records in a database. We propose the use of a statistical framework based on Gaussian Mixture Models and Maximum A Posteriori model adaptation, successfully applied to speaker and face authentication, which can deal with only one training session. We perform intensive experimental simulations using several strict train/test protocols to show the potential of our method. We also show that there are some mental tasks that are more appropriate for person authentication than others.

Maximum a posteriori adaptation for many-to-one eigenvoice conversion
Many-to-one eigenvoice conversion (EVC) allows the conversion from an arbitrary speaker’s voice into the pre-determined target speaker’s voice. In this method, a canonical eigenvoice Gaussian mixture model is effectively adapted to any source speaker using only a few utterances as the adaptation data. In this paper, we propose a many-to-one EVC based on maximum a posteriori (MAP) adaptation for...
متن کاملMaximum a posteriori adaptation of network parameters in deep models
We present a Bayesian approach to adapting parameters of a well-trained context-dependent deep-neural-network hidden Markov models (CD-DNN-HMMs) to improve automatic speech recognition performance. Due to an abundance of DNN parameters but with only a limited amount of adaptation data, the posterior probabilities of unseen CD states (senones) are often pushed towards zero during adaptation, and...

In this paper, we present a maximum a posteriori (MAP) eigenvoice speaker adaptation approach to the self-adaptation system. The proposed MAP eigenvoice is developed by introducing a probability density model for the eigenvoice coefficients. And we make a self-adaptation system which is useful to public user, because user does not need to speak several sentences for adaptation. In self-adaptati...

Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based synthesis in combination with speaker adaptation has proven to be an approach that is well-suited for child speech synthesis [1]. This paper describes the development and evaluation of different HMM-based child speech synthesis systems.

متن کاملEffect of Relevance Factor of Maximum a posteriori Adaptation for GMM-SVM in Speaker and Language Recognition
Gaussian mixture model support vector machine (GMMSVM) with nuisance attribute projection (NAP) has been found to be effective and reliable for speaker and language recognition. In maximum a posteriori (MAP) adaptation of GMM, the relevance factor is the parameter that regulates how much the adaptation data affect the base model, which impacts the final recognition performance. In our previous ...
