Abstract
En 中文
Recently, a simple representation of a speech excerpt was proposed, as a binary matrix where each acoustic frame is represented by a binary vector. This new approach relies on the UBM paradigm but shifts the speaker recognition workspace from a continuous probabilistic to a discrete, binary discrete space, allowing easy access to the speaker discriminant information. In addition to the time-related abilities of this representation, it also allows the system to work with a more compact representation based on cumulative vectors. A cumulative vector is the sum of a set of frame-based binary vectors. In this space, global information can be exploited to compensate for the effects of session variability. This work is mainly dedicated to this aspect. A new variability compensation method in the cumulative vector space is proposed in order to remove not only the unwanted attributes of session variability but also the common attributes among speakers. This is done by incorporating in the projection matrix the common information to all classes. A specificity selection approach using a mask in the cumulative vector space is also proposed. This aims to reduce the non informative coefficients. The experimental validation, done on the NIST-SRE framework, demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed solutions, which shows an EER improvement from 42% to 61%. The combination of i-vector and binary approaches, using the proposed methods, showed the complementarity of the discriminatory information exploited by each of them. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
