The effect of utterance length on the estimation of the likelihood of a speaker has previously seen a brief treatment in past works. In many speaker recognition evaluations, the utterances were typically configured to have a relatively consistent length. This paper investigates the effect of varying enrollment and test utterance lengths on the score distributions and consequently their effect o...

This paper analyses the short utterance probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) speaker verification with utterance partitioning and short utterance variance (SUV) modelling approaches. Experimental studies have found that instead of using single long-utterance as enrolment data, if long enrolledutterance is partitioned into multiple short utterances and average of short utterance i-v...

The language used by women and men differ in all speech communities. In order to examine some of these variations, the present study aimed to investigate the differences in an informal written discourse. For this purpose, a comparison between men’s and women’s informal language was made regarding length of utterances, questions, intensifiers, and hedges. Results revealed that men employed highe...

In this paper, we propose to use an utterance length (duration) dependent threshold for rejecting an unknown input utterance with a general speech (garbage) model. A general speech model, comparing with more sophisticated anti-subword models, is a more viable solution to the utterance rejection problem for low-cost applications with stringent storage and computational constraints. However, the ...
