Comparing prosodic models for speaker recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, speaker verification systems using different kinds of prosodic features have been proposed. Although it has been shown that most of these speaker verification systems can improve system performance using score-level fusion with stateof-the-art cepstral-based systems, a systematic comparison of the prosodic modelling algorithms used in these prosodic systems has not yet been performed. This motivated us to review the proposed prosodic modelling algorithms and compare them using a common experimental condition. These experiments explored different approaches in the sampling/segmentation of prosodic contours and the selection of prosodic features. They show that simple prosodic systems with features extracted from fixed-size contour segments, without knowledge of phone/pseudo-syllable level information, still provide significant performance improvement when fused with a state-of-the-art cepstral-based system. Moreover, some prosodic systems are shown to be complementary to each other. Fusion of these systems with the cepstral-based system can provide further performance improvement on the speaker verification task.

A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...
متن کاملDuration and pronunciation conditioned lexical modeling for speaker verification
We propose a method to improve speaker recognition lexical model performance using acoustic-prosodic information. More specifically, the lexical model is trained using durationand pronunciation-conditioned word N-grams, simultaneously modeling lexical information along with their acoustic and prosodic characteristics. Support vector machines are used for modeling and scoring, with N-gram freque...
