A Robust Framework for Forensic Speaker Verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the application of automatic speaker verification systems in forensic casework. A framework for reporting the system outcome is proposed. Specific system requirements to properly cope with forensic idiosyncrasies are analyzed through a series of simulations. Results suggest that the design of a forensic speaker verification system not necessarily match the settings of current state-of-the-art systems.

Using Exciting and Spectral Envelope Information and Matrix Quantization for Improvement of the Speaker Verification Systems
Speaker verification from talking a few words of sentences has many applications. Many methods as DTW, HMM, VQ and MQ can be used for speaker verification. We applied MQ for its precise, reliable and robust performance with computational simplicity. We also used pitch frequency and log gain contour for further improvement of the system performance.

متن کاملA Bayesian network approach combining pitch and spectral envelope features to reduce channel mismatch in speaker verification and forensic speaker recognition
The aim of this paper is to reduce the effect of mismatch in recording conditions due to the transmission channel and recording device, using conditional dependencies of prosodic and spectral envelope features. The developed system is based on a Bayesian network framework which combines statistical models of the pitch and spectral envelope features. This approach is applied to forensic automati...
متن کاملNoise robustness in forensic speaker verification
Recently, commercial speaker verification systems have been applied to forensic casework. Unfortunately, these systems were not custom tailored to current needs. In this paper we try to identify general guidelines towards establishing an improved forensic speaker verification methodology. A main issue is the recognition rate, which highly deteriorates in noisy conditions, preventing a reliable ...
متن کاملOn the Use of A utom atic Speaker Verification System s in Forensic Casework
In forensic applications of speaker recognition it is nec essary to be able to specify a confidence level for a de cision th a t two sets of recordings have been produced by the same speaker (or by different speakers). Foren sic phoneticians are sometimes incriminated because they find it impossible to provide ’hard’ estimates of the confidence level of an expert opinion. In this pa per it ...
