Improved Svm Speaker Verification through Data-driven Background Dataset Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of background dataset selection in SVM-based speaker verification is addressed through the proposal of a new datadriven selection technique. Based on support vector selection, the proposed approach introduces a method to individually assess the suitability of each candidate impostor example for use in the background dataset. The technique can then produce a refined background dataset by selecting only the most informative impostor examples. Improvements of 13% in min. DCF and 10% in EER were found on the SRE 2006 development corpus when using the proposed method over the best heuristically chosen set. The technique was also shown to generalise to the unseen NIST 2008 SRE corpus.

Improved GMM-based speaker verification using SVM-driven impostor dataset selection
The problem of impostor dataset selection for GMM-based speaker verification is addressed through the recently proposed data-driven background dataset refinement technique. The SVM-based refinement technique selects from a candidate impostor dataset those examples that are most frequently selected as support vectors when training a set of SVMs on a development corpus. This study demonstrates th...

A data-driven background dataset refinement technique was recently proposed for SVM based speaker verification. This method selects a refined SVM background dataset from a set of candidate impostor examples after individually ranking examples by their relevance. This paper extends this technique to the refinement of the T-norm dataset for SVM-based speaker verification. The independent refineme...

To model the speech utterance at a finer granularity, this paper presents a novel state-alignment based supervector modeling method for text-independent speaker verification, which takes advantage of state-alignment method used in hidden Markov model (HMM) based acoustic modeling in speech recognition. By this way, the proposed modeling method can convert a text-independent speaker verification...
متن کاملi-Vector Selection for Effective PLDA Modeling in Speaker Recognition
Data selection is an important issue in speaker recognition. In previous studies, the data selection for universal background model (UBM) training and for the background dataset of support vector machines (SVM) have been addressed. In this paper, we address the data selection for a probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) model which is one of the state-of-the-art methods for i-vector ...

This paper investigates the effects of limited speech data in the context of speaker verification using the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) mean supervector support vector machine (SVM) classifier. This classifier provides state-of-the-art performance when sufficient speech is available, however, its robustness to the effects of limited speech resources has not yet been ascertained. Verification p...
