Evaluation of kernel methods for speaker verification and identification
Vincent Wan, Steve J. Renals · IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing · 2002
Support vector machines are evaluated on speaker verification and speaker identification tasks. We compare the polynomial kernel, the Fisher kernel, a likelihood ratio kernel and the pair hidden Markov model kernel with baseline systems based on a discriminative polynomial classifier and generative Gaussian mixture model classifiers. Simulations were carried out on the YOHO database and some promising results were obtained.
