Discriminative Training of GMM for Language Identificatio..
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a discriminative training procedure for a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) language identification system is described. The proposal is based on the Generalized Probabilistic Descent (GPD) algorithm and Minimum Classification Error Rates formulated to estimate the GMM parameters. The evaluation is conducted using the OGI multi-language telephone speech corpus. The experimental results show such system is very effective in language identification tasks.

Acoustic language identification using fast discriminative training
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) in combination with Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers have been shown to give excellent classification accuracy in speaker recognition. In this work we use this approach for language identification, and we compare its performance with the standard approach based on GMMs. In the GMM-SVM framework, a GMM is trained for each training or test utterance. Since i...
متن کاملA framework for discriminative SVM/GMM systems for language recognition
Language recognition with support vector machines and shifteddelta cepstral features has been an excellent performer in NISTsponsored language evaluation for many years. A novel improvement of this method has been the introduction of hybrid SVM/GMM systems. These systems use GMM supervectors as an SVM expansion for classification. In prior work, methods for scoring SVM/GMM systems have been int...
متن کاملDiscriminative Training of Subspace Gaussian Mixture Model for Pattern Classification
The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) has been widely used in pattern recognition problems for clustering and probability density estimation. For pattern classification, however, the GMM has to consider two issues: model structure in high-dimensional space and discriminative training for optimizing the decision boundary. In this paper, we propose a classification method using subspace GMM density mo...
متن کاملGMM-Free Flat Start Sequence-Discriminative DNN Training
Recently, attempts have been made to remove Gaussian mixture models (GMM) from the training process of deep neural network-based hidden Markov models (HMM/DNN). For the GMM-free training of a HMM/DNN hybrid we have to solve two problems, namely the initial alignment of the frame-level state labels and the creation of context-dependent states. Although flat-start training via iteratively realign...
متن کاملImproving GMM-UBM speaker verification using discriminative feedback adaptation
The Gaussian Mixture Model Universal Background Model (GMM-UBM) system is one of the predominant approaches for text-independent speaker verification, because both the target speaker model and the impostor model (UBM) have generalization ability to handle “unseen” acoustic patterns. However, since GMM-UBM uses a common anti-model, namely UBM, for all target speakers, it tends to be weak in reje...
