Abstract

AbstractThis article deals with a new approach to the text-independent speaker verification task. It is namely proposed to combine spectral and the so-called high-level features (prosodic, articulatory, and lexical) in order increase accuracy of speaker verification. The presented experiments were performed using a Polish language corpus called PUEPS. It contains semi-spontaneous telephone conversations (acted emergency telephone notifications) recorded in laboratory conditions. As the Polish language is under resourced and the PUEPS corpus is relatively small, another approach is needed than these known from the well known NIST evaluations. The authors proposed to use the fast scoring instead of more complex classifiers and the AdaBoost algorithm for features combination. Combination of features resulted in equal error rate (EER) reduction for various SNR conditions.KeywordsSpeaker recognitionhigh-level featureskernel combinationboosting
