Multiconditional Modeling is widely used to create noise-robust speaker recognition systems. However, the approach is computationally intensive. An alternative is to optimize the training condition set in order to achieve maximum noise robustness while using the smallest possible number of noise conditions during training. This paper establishes the optimal conditions for a noise-robust training model by consid...
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) are the most widely used technique for voice modeling in automatic speaker recognition systems. In this paper, we introduce a variation of the traditional GMM approach that uses models with variable complexity (resolution). Termed Multi-resolution GMMs (MR-GMMs); this new approach yields more than a 50% reduction in the computational costs associated with proper speaker identifica...
