Mixture Gaussian model training against impostor model parameters: an application to speaker identification

چکیده
In this paper we aim to improve the performance of Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) classifier using Impostor model parameters for a closed set Speaker Identification task. We propose a novel method of speaker model training which uses the parameters of an Impostor Model to discriminatively train, in order to improve the performance of the GMM based classifier. This is unlike conventional techniques which use Minimum Classification Error (MCE) criterion which uses the ensemble of speaker data, instead. An experimental comparison between the conventional GMM and the proposed technique is presented.

Minimum classification error training for speaker identification using Gaussian mixture models based on multi-space probability distribution
In our previous work, we have proposed a speaker modeling technique using spectral and pitch features for text-independent speaker identification based on Multi-Space Probability Distribution Gaussian Mixture Models (MSD-GMMs). We have presented a maximum likelihood (ML) estimation procedure for the MSD-GMM parameters and demonstrated its high recognition performance. In this paper, we describe...
متن کاملImpostor Detection in Speaker Recognition Using Confusion - Based Confidence Measures
Kyuhong Kim et al. 811 ABSTRACT⎯In this letter, we introduce confusion-based confidence measures for detecting an impostor in speaker recognition, which does not require an alternative hypothesis. Most traditional speaker verification methods are based on a hypothesis test, and their performance depends on the robustness of an alternative hypothesis. Compared with the conventional Gaussian mixt...

Speech is one of the most opulent and instant methods to express emotional characteristics of human beings, which conveys the cognitive and semantic concepts among humans. In this study, a statistical-based method for emotional recognition of speech signals is proposed, and a learning approach is introduced, which is based on the statistical model to classify internal feelings of the utterance....
متن کاملA discriminative training algorithm for Gaussian mixture speaker models
The Gaussian mixture speaker model (GMM) is usually trained with the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to maximize the likelihood (ML) of observation data from an individual class. The GMM trained based the ML criterion has weak discriminative power when used as a classifier. In this paper, a discriminative training procedure is proposed to fine-tune the parameters in the GMMs. The goal o...
