Speaker verification improvemen distortion
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we propose the inversion of nonlinear distortions in order to improve the recognition rates of a speaker recognizer system. We study the effect of saturations on the test signals, trying to take into account real situations where the training material has been recorded in a controlled situation but the testing signals present some mismatch with the input signal level (saturations). The experimental results shows that a combination of several strategies can reduce the minimum detection cost function with saturated test sentences from 6.42% to 4.15%, while the results with clean speech (without saturation) is 5.74% for one microphone and 7.02% for the other one.

Using Exciting and Spectral Envelope Information and Matrix Quantization for Improvement of the Speaker Verification Systems
Speaker verification from talking a few words of sentences has many applications. Many methods as DTW, HMM, VQ and MQ can be used for speaker verification. We applied MQ for its precise, reliable and robust performance with computational simplicity. We also used pitch frequency and log gain contour for further improvement of the system performance.
متن کاملDynamic weighting of the distortion sequence in text-dependent speaker verification
A new dynamic weighting method for robust textdependent speaker verification is proposed and investigated. The main attraction of the proposed approach is that it is equally effective under both uniform and non-uniform mismatched conditions. It involves estimating the mismatch associated with each feature vector in the test token and using this to weight the respective vector distortion appropr...
متن کاملSpeaker Verification System Based on the Stochastic Modeling
In this paper we propose a new speaker verification system where the new training and classification algorithms for vector quantization and Gaussian mixture models are introduced. The vector quantizer is used to model sub-word speech components. The code books are created for both training and test utterances. We propose new approaches to normalize distortion of the training and test code books...
متن کاملOn the use of asymmetric-shaped tapers for speaker verification using i-vectors
This paper presents asymmetric-shaped tapers (or windows) for speaker recognition. Symmetric tapers (e.g., hamming), having the linear phase property and longer time delay, are widely used for short-time analysis of speech signals. Since human speech perception is relatively insensitive to short-time phase distortion, the linearity constraint on phase can be removed without any adverse effects....
متن کاملUsing second order statistics for text independent speaker verification
This paper describes a computationally simple method to perform text independent speaker verification using second order statistics. The suggested method, called Utterance Level Scoring (ULS), allows obtaining a normalized score using a single pass through the frames of the tested utterance. The utterance sample covariance is first calculated and then compared to the speaker covariance using a ...
