Deep Belief Network Based Speaker Information Extraction Method
Chen Li · 2013
In i-vector based speaker verification system,it is necessary to extract the discriminative speaker information from i-vectors to further improve the performance of the system. Combined with the anchor model,a deep belief network based speaker-related information extraction method is proposed in this paper. By analyzing and modeling the complex variabilities contained in i-vectors layer-by-layer,the speaker-related information can be extracted with non-linear transformation. The experimental results on the core test of NIST SRE 2008 show the superiority of the proposed method. Compared with the linear discriminant analysis based system,the equal error rates( EER) of male and female trials can be reduced to 4. 96% and 6. 18% respectively. Furthermore,after the fusion of the proposed method with linear discriminant analysis,the EER can be reduced to 4. 74% and 5. 35%.
