Impostor Detection in Speaker Recognition Using Confusion-Based Confidence Measures
Kyu Hong Kim, Hoirin Kim, Minsoo Hahn · ETRI Journal · 2006
In this letter, we introduce confusion-based confidence measures for detecting an impostor in speaker recognition, which does not require an alternative hypothesis. Most traditional speaker verification methods are based on a hypothesis test, and their performance depends on the robustness of an alternative hypothesis. Compared with the conventional Gaussian mixture model–universal background model (GMM-UBM) scheme, our confusion-based measures show better performance in noise-corrupted speech. The additional computational requirements for our methods are negligible when used to detect or reject impostors.
