A novel text-independent speaker verification method using the global speaker model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a new text-independent speaker verification method is proposed based on likelihood score normalization and the global speaker model, which is established to represent the universal features of speech and environment, and to normalize the likelihood score. As a result the equal error rates are decreased significantly, verification procedure is accelerated and system adaptability is improved. Two possible ways of establishing the global speaker model, one of which can meet the real-time requirement, are also suggested and discussed. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of this novel verification method and its improvement over the conventional method and other normalization methods.

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.

In this paper, a novel method using 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) architecture has been proposed for speaker verification in the text-independent setting. At the development phase, a CNN is trained to classify speakers at the utterance-level. In the enrollment stage, the trained network is utilized to directly create a speaker model for each speaker based on the extracted features. F...

In this paper, we propose a novel speaker verification method which determines whether a claimer is accepted or rejected by the rank of the claimer in a large number of speaker models instead of score normalization, such as T-norm and Z-norm. The method has advantages over the standard T-norm in speaker verification accuracy. However, it needs much computation time as well as T-norm that needs ...
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 کاملText-independent speaker verification using virtual speaker based cohort normalization
In this paper, we propose a new score normalization method for text-independent speaker verification using GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model). In the proposed method, cohort model is designed as virtual speaker model based on the similarity of local acoustic information between the reference speaker and other customers. The similarity is determined using statistical distance between model components ...
