Looking for relevant features for speaker role recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
When listening to foreign radio or TV programs we are able to pick up some information from the way people are interacting with each others and easily identify the most dominant speaker or the person who is interviewed. Our work relies on the existence of clues about speaker roles in acoustic and prosodic low-level features extracted from audio files and from speaker segmentations. In this paper we describe an original language-independent method which achieves the recognition of 5 roles (Anchor, Journalist, Other, Punctual Journalist, Punctual Other) with an accuracy of 85% on a 13-hour corpus composed of 46 documents among which can be found different radio shows. A feature selection method is exploited in order to highlight the most relevant features for every speaker role.

Although, speech recognition systems are widely used and their accuracies are continuously increased, there is a considerable performance gap between their accuracies and human recognition ability. This is partially due to high speaker variations in speech signal. Deep neural networks are among the best tools for acoustic modeling. Recently, using hybrid deep neural network and hidden Markov mo...

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...
