Abstract
Robustness of speaker recognition systems is crucial for real-world applications, which typically contain both additive noise and room reverberation. However, the combined effects of additive noise and convolutive reverberation have been rarely studied in speaker identification (SID). This paper addresses this issue in two phases. We first remove background noise through binary masking using a deep neural network classifier. Then we perform robust SID with speaker models trained in selected reverberant conditions, on the basis of bounded marginalization and direct masking. Evaluation results show that the proposed system substantially improves SID performance over related systems in a wide range of reverberation time and signal-to-noise ratios.
