Adaptive individual background model for speaker verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most techniques for speaker verification today use Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and make the decision by comparing the likelihood of the speaker model to the likelihood of a universal background model (UBM). The paper proposes to replace the UBM by an individual background model (IBM) that is generated for each speaker. The IBM is created using the K-nearest cohort models and the UBM by a simple new adaptation algorithm. The new GMM-IBM speaker verification system can also be combined with various score normalization techniques that have been proposed to increase the robustness of the GMM-UBM system. Comparative experiments were held on the NIST-2004-SRE database with a plain system setting (without score normalization) and also with the combination of adaptive test normalization (ATnorm). Results indicated that the proposed GMM-IBM system outperforms a comparable GMM-UBM system.

This paper presents a HMM-based speaker verification system which was implemented for a field trial. One of the challenges for moving HMM from speech recognition to speaker verification is to understand the HMM score variation and to define a proper measurement which is comparable across speech samples. In this paper we define two basic verification measurements, a qualifier-based measurement a...
