A common limitation of the previous comparative studies on speaker-features extraction techniques lies in the fact that the comparison is done independently of the used speaker modeling technique and its parameters. The aim of the present paper is twofold. Firstly, it aims to review the most significant advancements in feature extraction techniques used for automatic speaker recognition. Secondly, it seeks to evaluate and compare the currently dominant ones using an objective comparison methodology that overcomes the various limitations and drawbacks of the previous comparative studies. The results of the carried out experiments underlines the importance of the proposed comparison methodology.

Structured Approach

<p>Speaker recognition systems are classified according to their database, feature extraction techniques and classification methods. It is analyzed that there is a much need to work upon all the dimensions of forensic speaker recognition systems from the very beginning phase of database collection to recognition phase. The present work provides a structured approach towards developing a robust speech database collection for efficient speaker recognition system. The database required for both systems is entirely different. The databases for biometric systems are readily available while databases for forensic speaker recognition system are scarce. The paper also presents several databases available for speaker recognition systems.</p><p> </p>

Speaker Modeling

A big deal for current research on automatic speaker recognition is the effectiveness of the speaker modeling techniques for the talkers, because they have their own speaking style, depending on their specific accents and dialects. This paper investigates on the influence of the dialect and the size of database on the text independent speaker verification task using the SVM and the hybrid GMM/SVM speaker modeling. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique is used in the front-end part of the speaker recognition system, in order to extract the most representative features. Experimental results show that the size of database has an important impact on the SVM and GMM/SVM based speaker verification performances, while the dialect has no significant effect. Applying PCA dimensionality reduction improves the recognition accuracy for both SVM and GMM/SVM based recognition systems. However, it did not give an obvious observation about the dialect effect.

Environment Noise

In speaker recognition systems, feature extraction is a challenging task under environment noise conditions. To improve the robustness of the feature, we proposed a multiscale chaotic feature for speaker recognition. We use a multiresolution analysis technique to capture more finer information on different speakers in the frequency domain. Then, we extracted the speech chaotic characteristics based on the nonlinear dynamic model, which helps to improve the discrimination of features. Finally, we use a GMM-UBM model to develop a speaker recognition system. Our experimental results verified its good performance. Under clean speech and noise speech conditions, the ERR value of our method is reduced by 13.94% and 26.5% compared with the state-of-the-art method, respectively.

Speaker Modeling

A speaker recognition system verifies or identifies a speaker’s identity based on his/her voice. It is considered as one of the most convenient biometric characteristic for human machine communication. This chapter introduces several speaker recognition systems and examines their performances under various conditions. Speaker recognition can be classified into either speaker verification or speaker identification. Speaker verification aims to verify whether an input speech corresponds to a claimed identity, and speaker identification aims to identify an input speech by selecting one model from a set of enrolled speaker models. Both the speaker verification and identification system consist of three essential elements: feature extraction, speaker modeling, and matching. The feature extraction pertains to extracting essential features from an input speech for speaker recognition. The speaker modeling pertains to probabilistically modeling the feature of the enrolled speakers. The matching pertains to matching the input feature to various speaker models. Speaker modeling techniques including Gaussian mixture model (GMM), hidden Markov model (HMM), and phone n-grams are presented, and in this chapter, their performances are compared under various tasks. Several verification and identification experimental results presented in this chapter indicate that speaker recognition performances are highly dependent on the acoustical environment. A comparative study between human listeners and an automatic speaker verification system is presented, and it indicates that an automatic speaker verification system can outperform human listeners. The applications of speaker recognition are summarized, and finally various obstacles that must be overcome are discussed.

AbstractThe classification of dysfluencies is one of the important steps in objective measurement of stuttering disorder. In this work, the focus is on investigating the applicability of automatic speaker recognition (ASR) method for stuttering dysfluency recognition. The system designed for this particular task relies on the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), which is the most widely used probabilistic modeling technique in ASR. The GMM parameters are estimated from Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). This statistical speaker-modeling technique represents the fundamental characteristic sounds of speech signal. Using this model, we build a dysfluency recognizer that is capable of recognizing dysfluencies irrespective of a person as well as what is being said. The performance of the system is evaluated for different types of dysfluencies such as syllable repetition, word repetition, prolongation, and interjection using speech samples from the University College London Archive of Stuttered Speech (UCLASS).
