Abstract:
The present research is an effort to enhance the performance of voice processing systems, in our case the speaker identification system (SIS) by addressing the variability caused by the dialectical variations of a language. We present an effective solution to reduce dialect-related variability from voice processing systems. The proposed method minimizes the system’s complexity by reducing search space during the testing process of speaker identification. The speaker is searched from the set of speakers of the identified dialect instead of all the speakers present in system training. The study

Abstract:
AbstractMost of the state-of-the-art speaker identification systems work on a monolingual (preferably English) scenario. Therefore, English-language autocratic countries can use the system efficiently for speaker recognition. However, there are many countries, including India, that are multilingual in nature. People in such countries have habituated to speak multiple languages. The existing speaker identification system may yield poor performance if a speaker’s train and test data are in different languages. Thus, developing a robust multilingual speaker identification system is an issue in ma

This type of talk has different problems as well as stages of processing. Challenges include the unique impurity of the surroundings, the involvement of speakers, speaker distance, microphone equipment etc. In addition to addressing these hurdles in real time, there are also problems in the treatment of the multi-speaker speech.

Abstract:
A novel Discriminative Vector Quantization method for Speaker Identification (DVQSI) is proposed, and its parameters selection is discussed. In the training mode of this approach, the vector space of speech features is divided into a number of regions. Then, a Vector Quantization (VQ) codebook for each speaker in each region is constructed. For every possible combination of speaker pairs, a discriminative weight is assigned for each region, based on the region's ability to discriminate between the speaker pair. Consequently, the region, which contains a larger distribution difference between t

Abstract:
Speaker identification (SID) technology aims to determine whether the speech in a recording of an unknown speaker matches that of speaker known to the SID system. If the unknown speaker comes from a community that is underrepresented in the SID training data (e.g., accent), the SID model is more likely to confuse the unknown speaker for other speakers in that speaker community: group-level characteristics are mistaken for individual identifiers (all speakers with that accent seem like the same speaker to SID). Previous solutions include reweighting training data to create balance across speake

Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become indispensable to all people, primarily for the purposes of speaker recognition, voice identification, educational purposes, workplace, and health care. Based on a speaker’s voice characteristics, identification and recognition of the speaker is accomplished. The voice is affected by both intra- and interspeaker variability. In addition to this, a condition known as structural abnormalities can cause resonance, which can seriously affect voice quality. As a result, speakers may experience difficulties when using AI-based devices. The study aims to investi

Abstract:
In speaker recognition, we seek to find highly speaker-related features in the speech signal that can be used as the basis of effective classification. The choice of such features should follow the basic standard of speech signal characterisation, namely, to select and model the features that minimise intra-speaker variability and, at the same time, maximise inter-speaker variability. The instantaneous features of the speech signal, which are representing the approximate formant frequencies, its bandwidth, and its carrying energies at each time instant, could reflect, to some extent, the promi

Based on the assumption that the physical characteristics of people's vocal apparatus cause their voices to have distinctive characteristics, this thesis reports on investigations into the use of the long-term average glottal response for speaker identification. The long-term average glottal response is a new feature that is obtained by overlaying successive vocal tract responses within an utterance. The way in which the long-term average glottal response varies with accent and gender is examined using a population of 352 American English speakers from eight different accent regions. Descript

Abstract:
This work explores the use of a triplet loss deep network setting for the forensic identification of speakers in Spanish. Within the framework, we train a convolutional network to produce vector representations of speech spectrogram slices. Then we test how similar these vectors are for a given speaker and how dissimilar are compared with other speakers. Based on these metrics we propose the calculation of the Likelihood Radio which is a cornerstone for forensic identification.
