Nonparametric distance measures of speaker verification

A nonparametric technique for speaker recognition and verification is proposed. The proposed distance measures differ from existing distance measures by their symmetry. These measures have been evaluated on a text-dependent database, achieving a 99.6% verification rate for 200 French speakers. In addition, it is shown that the covariance carries more speaker information than the sample mean.
