چکیده

The paper considers text independent speaker identification over the telephone using short training and testing data. Gaussian Mixture Modeling (GMM) is used in the testing phase, but the parameters of the model are taken from clusters obtained for the training data by an adequate choice of feature vectors and a distance measure without optimization in the maximum likelihood (ML) sense. This distance-based GMM (DB-GMM) approach was evaluated by experiments in speaker identification from short telephone-speech data for a few feature vectors and distance measures. The selected feature vectors were Line Spectra Pairs (LSP) and Mel Frequency Cepstra (MFC). The selected distance measures were weighted Euclidean distance with IHM and BPL, respectively. DB-GMM showed consistently better performance than GMM trained by the expectationmaximization (EM) algorithm. Another notable observation is that a full covariance GMM (that is more comfortably trained by DB-GMM) always achieved significantly better performance than diagonal covariance GMM.

Recognizing the Emotional State Changes in Human Utterance by a Learning Statistical Method based on Gaussian Mixture Model

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....

Robust text-independent speaker identification using Gaussian mixture speaker models

This paper introduces and motivates the use of Gaussian mixture models (CMM) for robust text-independent speaker identification. The individual Gaussian components of a GMM are shown to represent some general speaker-dependent spectral shapes that are efTective for modeling speaker identity. The focus of this work is on applications which require high identification rates using short utterance ...

Probabilistic Neural Networks Combined with Gmms for Speaker Recognition over Telephone Channels

In this paper we study the applicability of Probabilistic Neural Networks (PNNs) as core classifiers to medium scale speaker recognition over fixed telephone networks. In particular, banking applications with up to 400 enrolled speakers and short training times are targeted. Two PNN-based open-set text-independent systems for Speaker Identification and Speaker Verification correspondingly are p...

Feature-based and channel-based analyses of intrinsic variability in speaker verification

We explore how intrinsic variations (those associated with the speaker rather than the recording environment) affect textindependent speaker verification performance. In a previous paper we introduced the SRI-FRTIV corpus and provided speaker verification results using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) system on telephone-channel speech. In this paper we explore the use of other speaker verificati...

Text-independent speaker verification using virtual speaker based cohort normalization

In this paper, we propose a new score normalization method for text-independent speaker verification using GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model). In the proposed method, cohort model is designed as virtual speaker model based on the similarity of local acoustic information between the reference speaker and other customers. The similarity is determined using statistical distance between model components ...
