An introduction to speech and speaker recognition

An Introduction to Speech Sciences (Acoustic Analysis of Speech)

Speech sciences deal with the acoustical characteristics of speech by means of sophisticated soft wares as well as hard wares. Although, a speech science is a well known science in the developed countries, especially the western societies, however, it has been remained almost unknown in Iran, though, in recent years a group of scholars have been involved in this branch of science. The applicati...

Introduction to Speech Recognition

This chapter presents the state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology, which is a very successful technology in the computer science field, related to multiple disciplines such as the signal processing and analysis, mathematical statistics, applied artificial intelligence and linguistics, and so forth. The unit of essential information used to characterize the speech signal i...

An Introduction to Application-Independent Evaluation of Speaker Recognition Systems

In the evaluation of speaker recognition systems, the tradeoff between missed speakers and false alarms has always been an important diagnostic tool. NIST has defined the task of speaker detection with the associated Detection Cost Function (DCF) to evaluate performance, and introduced the DET-plot [1] as a diagnostic tool. Since the first evaluation in 1996, these evaluation tools have been em...
