An Improved Approach for Text-Independent Speaker Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents new Speaker Identification and Speaker Verification systems based on the use of new feature vectors extracted from the speech signal. The proposed structure combine between the most successful Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients and new features which are the Short Time Zero Crossing Rate of the signal. A comparison between speaker recognition systems based on Gaussian mixture models using the well known Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients and the novel systems based on the use of a combination between both reduced Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients features vectors and Short Time Zero Crossing Rate features is given. This comparison proves that the use of the new reduced feature vectors help to improve the system’s performance and also help to reduce the time and memory complexity of the system which is required for realistic applications that suffer from computational resource limitation. The experiments were performed on speakers from TIMIT database for different training durations. The suggested systems performances are evaluated against the baseline systems. The increase of the proposed systems performances are well observed for identification experiments and the decrease of Equal Error Rates are also remarkable for verification experiments. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the new approach which avoids the use of more complex algorithms or the combination of different approaches requiring lengthy calculation. Keywords—GMM; speaker verification; speaker recognition; speaker identification

Text-constrained speaker recognition on a text-independent task
We present an approach to speaker recognition in the textindependent domain of conversational telephone speech using a text-constrained system designed to employ select highfrequency keywords in the speech stream. The system uses speaker word models generated via Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) — a departure from the traditional Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) approach dominant in text-independent wor...
متن کاملText independent speaker recognition using speaker dependent word spotting
This paper is motivated by the fact that text dependent speaker recognition is inherently more accurate than text independent speaker recognition. In this work we assign models to frequent words spoken by a speaker and spot them in a test call. In this way, text-dependent speaker recognition technology can be used for text independent tasks. The approach we take is to use DTW (Dynamic Time Warp...
متن کاملA Supervised Text-Independent Speaker Recognition Approach
We provide a supervised speech-independent voice recognition technique in this paper. In the feature extraction stage we propose a mel-cepstral based approach. Our feature vector classification method uses a special nonlinear metric, derived from the Hausdorff distance for sets, and a minimum mean distance classifier. Keywords—Text-independent speaker recognition, mel cepstral analysis, speech ...
متن کاملText Independent Speaker Recognition and Speaker Independent Speech Recognition Using Iterative Clustering Approach
This paper presents the effectiveness of perceptual features and iterative clustering approach for performing both speech and speaker recognition. Procedure used for formation of training speech is different for developing training models for speaker independent speech and text independent speaker recognition. So, this work mainly emphasizes the utilization of clustering models developed for th...
