A new method for performing weighted distances for speaker authentication
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the paper, a new method for computing weighted distances for Dynamic Time Warping based speaker verification systems is described. Weighted distances use coefficients determined usually globally and this, of course, does not consider the phonetic content of the vocal pattern. The goal of local weighting is to connect the computation of the weights to the phonetic events occurring in the patterns in order to compute a weighting matrix for each phonetic event. This is approximately achieved, in the work described in this paper, by using the DTW optimum path obtained during the comparison of two reference patterns. The method has been simulated on a VAX computer, and an accuracy improvement with respect to the global case has been observed.

Solution of Backup Multifacility Location Problem by Considering the Ideal Radius for each Customer
In this paper we introduce a new facility location model, called backup multifacility location problem by considering the ideal radius for each customer. In this problem the location of clients are given in the plane. A radius is assigned to each client. We should find the location of new facilities, which some of them may fail with a given probability, such that the sum of weighted distances f...
متن کاملBilateral Weighted Fuzzy C-Means Clustering
Nowadays, the Fuzzy C-Means method has become one of the most popular clustering methods based on minimization of a criterion function. However, the performance of this clustering algorithm may be significantly degraded in the presence of noise. This paper presents a robust clustering algorithm called Bilateral Weighted Fuzzy CMeans (BWFCM). We used a new objective function that uses some k...

Modern authentication systems require high-accuracy low complexity methods. High accuracy ensures secure access to sensitive data. Low computational requirements produce high transaction rates for large authentication populations. We propose a polynomial-based classi cation system that combines high-accuracy and low complexity using discriminative techniques. Traditionally polynomial classi ers...
متن کاملCombining GMM's with suport vector machines for text-independent speaker verification
Current best performing speaker recognition algorithms are based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM). Their results are not satisfactory for all experimental conditions, especially for the mismatched (train/test) conditions. Support Vector Machine is a new and very promissing technique in statistical learning theory. Recently, this technique produced very interesting results in image processing [2...
متن کاملWeighted Nuisance Attribute Projection
Nuisance attribute projection (NAP) has become a common method for compensation of channel effects, session variation, speaker variation, and general mismatch in speaker recognition. NAP uses an orthogonal projection to remove a nuisance subspace from a larger expansion space that contains the speaker information. Training the NAP subspace is based on optimizing pairwise distances to reduce int...
