"text-prompted" without Text: a Language-independent Voice-prompted Speaker Recognition System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new paradigm of voice prompted speaker recognition is presented. The vocal prompts that the speaker is asked to repeat are used by the speaker recognition system for segmenting the data and for normalizing the verification results. Using the vocal prompts themselves instead of the matching text makes the overall system more flexible and truly language independent. A technology demonstration system was set up and a small-scale experiment measured both speaker verification and text confirmation performance. Testing results show good performance when using human vocal prompts as well as synthesized vocal prompts.

A Speech Biometrics System with Multi- Grained Speaker Modeling
The paper describes a system for voice-based personal au-thentication in a conceptual framework of conversational speech biometrics relying on two sources of authentication-the acoustic voice-print and the user knowledge. Several technologies are closely integrated: speaker recognition and speech recognition as well as natural language understanding and dialog management. The rst part of this p...
متن کاملText-prompted speaker recognition with polynomial classifiers
A novel system for text-prompted speaker recognition is presented. The system first segments the speech by Viterbi alignment with speaker independent models. It then applies a polynomial classifier to each subword for recognition. This methodology has several interesting aspects. First, the system has excellent computational scalability for identification. Second, the discriminative training me...
متن کاملA robust speaker verification system against imposture using an HMM-based speech synthesis system
This paper describes a text-prompted speaker verification system which is robust to imposture using synthetic speech generated by an HMM-based speech synthesis system. In the verification system, text and speaker are verified separately. Text verification is based on phoneme recognition using HMM, and speaker verification is based on GMM. To discriminate synthetic speech from natural speech, an...
متن کاملImproving Robustness of Speaker Verification by Fusion of Prompted Text-Dependent and Text-Independent Operation Modalities
In this paper we present a fusion methodology for combining prompted text-dependent and text-independent speaker verification operation modalities. The fusion is performed in score level extracted from GMM-UBM single mode speaker verification engines using several machine learning algorithms for classification. In order to improve the performance we apply clustering of the score-based data befo...
متن کاملPhonetic, idiolectal and acoustic speaker recognition
This paper describes a text-independent speaker recognition system that achieves an equal error rate of less than 1% by combining phonetic, idiolect, and acoustic features. The phonetic system is a novel language-independent speakerrecognition system based on differences among speakers in dynamic realization of phonetic features (i.e., pronunciation), rather than spectral differences in voice q...
