Speaker Recognition with Small Training Requirements Using a Combination
نویسنده
چکیده
Vector Quantisation (VQ) has been shown to be robust in speaker recognition systems which require a small amount of training data. However the conventional VQ-based method only uses distortion measurements and discards the sequence of quantised codewords. In this paper we propose a method which extends the VQ distortion method by combining it with the likelihood of the sequence of VQ indices against a discrete hidden Markov model (DHMM). The method is particularly suitable for combined speech recognition and speaker recognition systems. Experiments on the TI46 database show that the combined score gives better performance than both the conventional VQ-based and DHMM-based methods.

Speaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...

This paper reports on two contributions to large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. First, we present a new paradigm for speaker-independent (SI) training of hidden Markov models (HMM), which uses a large amount of speech from a few speakers instead of the traditional practice of using a little speech from many speakers. In addition, combination of the training speakers is done by averag...

Development of the speaker recognition system with high recognition rates is still an active area for the researchers. Stochastic model based speaker recognition requires a large data for the training; otherwise poor recognition rates are obtained. This research deals with the problem of speaker recognition when only a few samples are available for training of the system. To avoid the low recog...
