Mixture of support vector machines for text-independent speaker recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the mixture of support vector machines is proposed and applied to text-independent speaker recognition. The mixture of experts is used and is implemented by the divide-and-conquer approach. The purpose of adopting this idea is to deal with the large scale speech data and improve the performance of speaker recognition. The principle is to train several parallel SVMs on the subsets of the whole dataset and then combine them in the distance or probabilistic fashion. The experiments have been run on the YOHO database, and the results show that the mixture model is superior to the basic Gaussian mixture model.

SVMSVM: support vector machine speaker verification methodology
Support vector machines with the Fisher and score-space kernels are used for text independent speaker verification to provide direct discrimination between complete utterances. This is unlike approaches such as discriminatively trained Gaussian mixture models or other discriminative classifiers that discriminate at the frame-level only. Using the sequence-level discrimination approach we are ab...
متن کاملExploiting GMM-based Quality Measure for SVM Speaker Verification
In this paper, we examine the problem of quality measurement for speaker verification using support vector machines (SVMs). An efficient Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) based quality estimation algorithm is proposed to potentially utilize speaker-specific broad acoustic-class characteristics. Some verification strategies are also considered in the test phase. We perform clustering-based vector p...
متن کاملSpeaker Recognition Using Gaussian Mixtures Models
Speech signal contains several levels of information. At first it contains information about the spoken message. At second level speech signal also gives information about the speaker identity, his emotional state and so on. The task of speaker recognition can be divided into two parts: speaker identification and speaker verification. Speaker identification is answering the question which one o...
متن کاملCombining GMM's with suport vector machines for text-independent speaker verification
Current best performing speaker recognition algorithms are based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM). Their results are not satisfactory for all experimental conditions, especially for the mismatched (train/test) conditions. Support Vector Machine is a new and very promissing technique in statistical learning theory. Recently, this technique produced very interesting results in image processing [2...
متن کاملA Hybrid GMM/SVM System for Text Independent Speaker Identification
This paper proposes a novel approach that combines statistical models and support vector machines. A hybrid scheme which appropriately incorporates the advantages of both the generative and discriminant model paradigms is described and evaluated. Support vector machines (SVMs) are trained to divide the whole speakers’ space into small subsets of speakers within a hierarchical tree structure. Du...
