In this paper, we introduce the automatic speaker identification system 'SPO(Supreme Prosecutors Office) Verifier'. SPO Verifier is a GMM(Gaussian mixture model)-UBM(universal background model) based automatic speaker recognition system and has been developed using Korean speakers' utterances. This system uses a channel compensation algorithm to compensate recording device characteristics. The system can give the users the ability to manage reference models with utterances from various environments to get more accurate recognition results. To evaluate the performance of SPO Verifier on Korean speakers, we compared this system with one of the most widely used commercial systems in the forensic field. The results showed that SPO Verifier shows lower EER(equal error rate) than that of the commercial system.
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to improve histogram equalization for speaker identification. Our method collects all speech features of UBM training data to make a reference distribution. The ranks of the feature vectors are calculated in the sorted list of the collection of the UBM training data and the test data. We use the ranks to perform order-based histogram equalization. The proposed method improves the accuracy of the speaker recognition system with short utterances. We use four kinds of speech databases to evaluate the proposed speaker recognition system and compare the system with cepstral mean normalization (CMN), mean and variance normalization (MVN), and histogram equalization (HEQ). Our system reduced the relative error rate by 33.3% from the baseline system.
In this paper, we propose a method for restoring damaged audio files using deep neural network. It is different from the conventional file carving based restoration. The purpose of our method is to infer lost information which can not be restored by existing techniques such as the file carving. We have devised methods that can automate the tasks which are essential for the restoring but are inappropriate for humans. As a result of this study it has been shown that it is possible to restore the damaged files, which the conventional file carving method could not, by using tasks such as speech or nonspeech decision and speech encoder recognizer using a deep neural network.
ABSTRACT:In this paper, we propose a new approach to speaker identification technique which uses an ensemble of multiple classifiers (speaker identifiers). KPCA (kernel principal component analysis) enhances features for each classifier. To reduce the processing time and memory requirements, we select limited number of samples randomly which are used as estimation set for each KPCA basis. The experimental result shows that the proposed approach gives a higher identification accuracy than GKPCA (greedy kernel principal component analysis).
