Language Detection combining discriminating approach and temporal decision with neural network modeling
Sébastien Herry, Célestin Sedogbo, Bruno Gas, Jean‐Luc Zarader · 2006
In this paper, we present a new method of language detection. This method is based on language pair discrimination using neural networks as classifier of acoustic features. The neural networks outputs are analyzed with two points of view, first the observed time series is uncorrelated and we sum it, secondly we consider it as correlated and we focus on the maximum continuous duration of each output. No acoustic decomposition of the speech signal is needed. We present an application of our method for the language detection task used for the NIST 2005 language recognition evaluation
