Fuzzy C-Means Clustering-Based Speaker Veri cation

چکیده
In speaker veri cation, a claimed speaker's score is computed to accept or reject the speaker claim. Most of the current normalisation methods compute the score as the ratio of the claimed speaker's and the impostors' likelihood functions. Based on analysing false acceptance error occured by the current methods, we propose a fuzzy c-means clusteringbased normalisation method to nd a better score which can reduce that error. Experiments performed on the TI46 and the ANDOSL speech corpora show better results for the proposed method.

Noise Clustering Approach to Speaker Verification
In a speaker veri ̄cation system, a claimed speaker's score is computed to accept or reject the speaker claim. Most of the current methods compute the score as the ratio of the claimed speaker's and the impostors' likelihood functions. Based on analysing false acceptance error obtained by using these methods, we propose a noise clustering approach to ̄nd better scores which can reduce that error....
متن کاملFuzzy normalisation methods for speaker verification
This paper proposes normalisation methods based on fuzzy set theory for speaker veri cation. A claimed speaker's score used to accept or reject this speaker is viewed as a fuzzy membership function. We propose two scores: the fuzzy entropy and fuzzy C-means membership functions. Moreover, a likelihood transformation is considered to obtain a general approach and, based on this, ve more fuzzy sc...
متن کاملBilateral Weighted Fuzzy C-Means Clustering
Nowadays, the Fuzzy C-Means method has become one of the most popular clustering methods based on minimization of a criterion function. However, the performance of this clustering algorithm may be significantly degraded in the presence of noise. This paper presents a robust clustering algorithm called Bilateral Weighted Fuzzy CMeans (BWFCM). We used a new objective function that uses some k...
متن کاملSimilarity normalization for speaker verification by fuzzy fusion
Similarity or likelihood normalization techniques are important for speaker veri"cation systems as they help to alleviate the variations in the speech signals. In the conventional normalization, the a priori probabilities of the cohort speakers are assumed to be equal. From this standpoint, we apply the theory of fuzzy measure and fuzzy integral to combine the likelihood values of the cohort sp...
متن کاملA Fuzzy C-means Algorithm for Clustering Fuzzy Data and Its Application in Clustering Incomplete Data
The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is a useful tool for clustering; but it is convenient only for crisp complete data. In this article, an enhancement of the algorithm is proposed which is suitable for clustering trapezoidal fuzzy data. A linear ranking function is used to define a distance for trapezoidal fuzzy data. Then, as an application, a method based on the proposed algorithm is pres...
