A Max Kernel For Text-Independent Speaker Verification Systems

2006
Conference Papers

Abstract

In this paper, we present a principled SVM based speaker verification system. A general approach to compute two sequences of frames is developed that enables the use of any kernel at the frame level. An extension of this approach using the Max operator is then proposed. The new system is compared to state-of-the-art GMM and other SVM based systems found in the literature on the Polyvar database. The new system outperforms, most of the time, the other systems, statistically significantly.

System

A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole. A system, surrounded and influenced by its environment, is described by its boundaries, structure and purpose and is expressed in its functioning. Systems are the subjects of study of systems theory and other systems sciences. Systems have several common properties and characteristics, including structure, function(s), behavior and interconnectivity.

Speech recognition

Speech recognition is an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science and computational linguistics that develops methodologies and technologies that enable the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers. It is also known as automatic speech recognition (ASR), computer speech recognition or speech to text (STT). It incorporates knowledge and research in the computer science, linguistics and computer engineering fields. The reverse process is speech synthesis.

Systems science

Systems science, also referred to as systems research, or, simply, systems, is a transdisciplinary field concerned with understanding systems—from simple to complex—in nature, society, cognition, engineering, technology and science itself. The field is diverse, spanning the formal, natural, social, and applied sciences. To systems scientists, the world can be understood as a system of systems.
