Discriminating semi-continuous HMM for speaker verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the use of a multiple codebook SCHMM speaker verification system, which uses a novel technique for discriminative hidden Markov modelling known as discriminative observation probabilities (DOP). DOP can easily be added to a multiple codebook HMM system and require minimal additional computation and no additional training. The DOP technique can be applied to both speech and speaker recognition. Results are presented for text-dependent experiments on isolated digits from 27 true speakers and 84 casud imposters, recorded over the public telephone network in the United Kingdom. DOP are shown to significantly improve speaker verification performance for several commonly used parameter sets.

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 کاملText dependent speaker verification using binary classifiers
This paper describes how a speaker verification task can be advantageously decomposed into a series of binary classification problems, i.e. each problem discriminating between two classes only. Each binary classifier is specific to one speaker, one anti-speaker and one word. Decision trees dealing with attributes of continuous values are used as classifiers. The set of classifiers is then prune...

متن کاملComparison of continuous-density and semi-continuous HMM in isolated words recognition systems
Several types of Semi-Continuous HMM (SC-HMM) have been compared with the Continuous Density HMM (CD-HMM) in the context of Speaker Independent Isolated Words Recognition (SI-IWR). It is demonstrated that for the ten-digit vocabulary (TIDIGITS), the SC-HMM outperforms the CD-HMM when memory constraints are imposed on the system. SC-HMMs demonstrate recognition rate of about 95% with a total of ...
