“…Over the years, several language-independent acoustic features like Shifted Delta Cepstral coefficients (SDC) [2,3], Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) [4,5], Linear Predictive Coefficients (LPC) [3], Perceptual Linear Prediction (PLP) [6] are reported to perform better for same train-test duration utterances. Although probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) based i-vector with modified prior estimation technique [7] and exemplarbased technique [8] was reported to improve the performance of SLID system in duration mismatched conditions, it was not significant, especially for short duration utterances [9,10].…”
