Speaker indexing in audio archives using test utterance Gaussian mixture modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Speaker Indexing has recently emerged as an important task due to the rapidly growing volume of audio archives. Current filtration techniques still suffer from problems both in accuracy and efficiency. The major reason for the drawbacks of existing solutions is the use of inaccurate anchor models. The contribution of this paper is two-fold. On the theoretical side, a new method is developed for simulating GMM scoring. This enables to fit a GMM not only to every target speaker but also to every test utterance, and then compute the likelihood of the test call using these GMMs instead of using the original data. The second contribution of this paper is in harnessing this GMM simulation to achieve very efficient speaker indexing in terms of both search time and index size. Results on the SPIDRE corpus show that our approach maintains the accuracy of the conventional GMM algorithm.

متن کاملRobust text-independent speaker identification using Gaussian mixture speaker models
This paper introduces and motivates the use of Gaussian mixture models (CMM) for robust text-independent speaker identification. The individual Gaussian components of a GMM are shown to represent some general speaker-dependent spectral shapes that are efTective for modeling speaker identity. The focus of this work is on applications which require high identification rates using short utterance ...
متن کاملSpeaker indexing in large audio databases using anchor models
This paper introduces the technique of anchor modeling in the applications of speaker detection and speaker indexing. The anchor modeling algorithm is refined by pruning the number of models needed. The system is applied to the speaker detection problem where its performance is shown to fall short of the state-of-the-art Gaussian Mixture Model with Universal Background Model (GMM-UBM) system. H...
متن کاملText-independent speaker verification using utterance level scoring and covariance modeling
This paper describes a computationally simple method to perform text independent speaker verification using second order statistics. The suggested method, called utterance level scoring (ULS), allows obtaining a normalized score using a single pass through the frames of the tested utterance. The utterance sample covariance is first calculated and then compared to the speaker covariance using a ...
متن کاملRecognizing the Emotional State Changes in Human Utterance by a Learning Statistical Method based on Gaussian Mixture Model
Speech is one of the most opulent and instant methods to express emotional characteristics of human beings, which conveys the cognitive and semantic concepts among humans. In this study, a statistical-based method for emotional recognition of speech signals is proposed, and a learning approach is introduced, which is based on the statistical model to classify internal feelings of the utterance....
