Familiar speaker recognition
Stanley J. Wenndt, Ronald L. Mitchell · 2012
Speaker recognition by machines can be quite good for large groups as seen in NIST speaker recognition evaluations. However, speaker recognition by machine can be fragile for changing environments. This research examines how robust humans are for recognizing familiar speakers in changing environments. Additionally, bandlimited noise was used to try to learn what frequency regions are important for human listeners to recognize familiar speakers.
