Kernel Alignment Maximization for Speaker Recognition Based on High-Level Features

چکیده
In this paper text-independent automatic speaker verification based on support vector machines is considered. A generalized linear kernel training method based on kernel alignment maximization is proposed. First, kernel matrix decomposition into a sum of maximally aligned directions in the input space is performed and this decomposition is spectrally optimized. The method was evaluated for high-level speaker features: prosodic, articulatory and lexical. The experiments were undertaken employing Switchboard corpus. The proposed algorithm gave equal error rate (EER) reduction up to 23%.

Speaker verification with non-audible murmur segments by combining global alignment kernel and penalized logistic regression machine
We investigate a novel method for speaker verification with non-audible murmur (NAM) segments. NAM is recorded using a special microphone placed on the neck and is hard for other people to hear. We have already reported a method based on a support vector machine (SVM) using NAM segments to use a keyword phrase effectively. To further exploit keyword-specific features, we introduce a global alig...

pretations, conclusions, and recommendations are those of the authors and are not necessarily endorsed by the United States Government. Abstract High-level features such as word usage, pronunciation, phonotactics, prosody, etc., have seen a resurgence for automatic speaker recognition over the last few years. With the availability of many conversations per speaker in current corpora, high-level...
متن کاملNeural Network based Classification for Speaker Identification
Speaker Recognition is a challenging task and is widely used in many speech aided applications. This study proposes a new Neural Network (NN) model for identifying the speaker, based on the acoustic features of a given speech sample extracted by applying wavelet transform on raw signals. Wrapper based feature selection applies dimensionality reduction by kernel PCA and ranking by Info gain. Onl...
متن کاملObject Recognition based on Local Steering Kernel and SVM
The proposed method is to recognize objects based on application of Local Steering Kernels (LSK) as Descriptors to the image patches. In order to represent the local properties of the images, patch is to be extracted where the variations occur in an image. To find the interest point, Wavelet based Salient Point detector is used. Local Steering Kernel is then applied to the resultant pixels, in ...
متن کاملSpeaker Recognition System for Limited Speech Data Using High-Level Speaker Specific Features and Support Vector Machines
High-level speaker-specific features (HLSSFs), such as the style of pronunciation of words, their use, phonotactics and prosody, form the main subjects of state-of-the-art research on automatic speaker recognition (ASR). In this paper, we experimentally verify HLSSF extraction and support vector machine (SVM)-based modelling techniques. The HLSSF extraction produces patterns of symbols for each...
