Speaker verification by means of ANNs

چکیده
In text-dependent speaker verification the speech signals have to be time-aligned. For that purpose dynamic time warping (DTW) can be used which performs the alignment by minimizing the Euclidean cepstral distance between the test and the reference utterance. While the cumulative Euclidean cepstral distance, which can be gathered from the DTW algorithm, could be used directly to discriminate between a pair of signals spoken by the same and by two different speakers, we show that a distance measure learned by an artificial neural network performs significantly better for the same task.

Speaker Verification System Based on Probabilistic Neural Networks
Because of their good generalization properties, Probabilistic Neural Networks (PNNs) were chosen as classifiers for the Speaker Verification system presented here. Their design is straightforward and does not depend on the training, and they are built only for a fraction of the back propagation ANNs training time [1]. The PNNs need much more neurons, compared to back propagation ANNs, which le...
متن کاملUsing 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.
