Discriminative Decision Function Based Scoring Method in Joint Factor Analysis for Speaker Verification

چکیده
This paper introduces a discriminative decision function scoring method for speaker recognition with the Joint Factor Analysis (JFA) system. In the scoring module of the JFA system, an approximate form of the decision function is proposed. Based on the approximation, we present a discriminative decision function by reestimating the contribution of each speech sound unit to the decision function. The discriminative decision function is used to exploit the individual Gaussian component for better classification. The experiments are carried out on the telephone-telephone core condition of NIST SRE2010. The experimental results show that the proposed scoring method outperforms the conventional frame-by-frame and integration scoring strategies, providing up to 19% and 15% relative improvement respectively.

High-level speaker verification via articulatory-feature based sequence kernels and SVM
Articulatory-feature based pronunciation models (AFCPMs) are capable of capturing the pronunciation variations among different speakers and are good for high-level speaker recognition. However, the likelihood-ratio scoring method of AFPCMs is based on a decision boundary created by training the target speaker model and universal background model (UBM) separately. Therefore, the method does not ...

This paper presents a new speaker verification system architecture based on Joint Factor Analysis (JFA) as feature extractor. In this modeling, the JFA is used to define a new low-dimensional space named the total variability factor space, instead of both channel and speaker variability spaces for the classical JFA. The main contribution in this approach, is the use of the cosine kernel in the ...

I-vectors are concise representations of speaker characteristics. Recent progress in i-vectors related research has utilized their ability to capture speaker and channel variability to develop efficient automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems. Inter-speaker relationships in the i-vector space are nonlinear. Accomplishing effective speaker verification requires a good modeling of these non-...

We propose a strategy for discriminative training of the ivector extractor in speaker recognition. The original i-vector extractor training was based on the maximum-likelihood generative modeling, where the EM algorithm was used. In our approach, the i-vector extractor parameters are numerically optimized to minimize the discriminative cross-entropy error function. Two versions of the i-vector ...

This paper presents, for the first time, unsupervised discriminative training of probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (unsupervised DT-PLDA). While discriminative training avoids the problem of generative training based on probabilistic model assumptions that often do not agree with actual data, it has been difficult to apply it to unsupervised scenarios because it can fit data with almos...
