Text-dependent speaker recognition using PLDA with uncertainty propagation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we apply and enhance the i-vector-PLDA paradigm to text-dependent speaker recognition. Due to its origin in text-independent speaker recognition, this paradigm does not make use of the phonetic content of each utterance. Moreover, the uncertainty in the i-vector estimates should be taken into account in the PLDA model, due to the short duration of the utterances. To bridge this gap, a phrase-dependent PLDA model with uncertainty propagation is introduced. We examined it on the RSR-2015 dataset and we show that despite its low channel variability, improved results over the GMM-UBM model are attained.

I-Vector/PLDA Variants for Text-Dependent Speaker Recognition
The i-vector/PLDA approach currently dominates the field of text-independent speaker recognition and the question of how to translate this methodology to the text-dependent domain has recently become an active area of research. The essential difference between the two fields is that it is possible to do speaker recognition with enrollment and test utterances of very short duration in the text-d...
متن کاملFast scoring for PLDA with uncertainty propagation via i-vector grouping
The i-vector/PLDA framework has gained huge popularity in text-independent speaker verification. This approach, however, lacks the ability to represent the reliability of i-vectors. As a result, the framework performs poorly when presented with utterances of arbitrary duration. To address this problem, a method called uncertainty propagation (UP) was proposed to explicitly model the reliability...
متن کاملAccounting for uncertainty of i-vectors in speaker recognition using uncertainty propagation and modified imputation
One of the biggest challenges in speaker recognition is incomplete observations in test phase caused by availability of only short duration utterances. The problem with short utterances is that speaker recognition needs to be handled by having information from only limited amount of acoustic classes. By considering limited observations from a test speaker, the resulting i-vector as a representa...
متن کاملFast Scoring for PLDA with Uncertainty Propagation
By treating utterances as points in the i-vector space, ivector/PLDA can achieve fast verification. However, this approach lacks the ability to cope with utterance-length variability. A method called uncertainty propagation (UP) that takes the uncertainty of i-vectors into account has been recently proposed to deal with this problem. However, the loading matrix for modeling utterance-length var...
متن کاملDiscriminative subspace modeling of SNR and duration variabilities for robust speaker verification
Although i-vectors together with probabilistic LDA (PLDA) have achieved a great success in speaker verification, how to suppress the undesirable effects caused by the variability in utterance length and background noise level is still a challenge. This paper aims to improve the robustness of i-vector based speaker verification systems by compensating for the utterance-length variability and noi...
