Support vector machines for speaker verification and identification
Vincent Wan, William M. Campbell · 2002
The performance of the support vector machine (SVM) on a speaker verification task is assessed. Since speaker verification requires binary decisions, support vector machines seem to be a promising candidate to perform the task. A new technique for normalising the polynomial kernel is developed and used to achieve performance comparable to other classifiers on the YOHO database. We also present results on a speaker identification task.
