Speaker Recognition Based on Fisher Discrimination Dictionary Learning
Wang Wei Han, Jiqing Zheng Tieran Zheng, Guibin Tao Yao · 2016
Motivated by the success of sparse representation in speaker recognition, a good dictionary plays an important role in sparse representation. In this paper, the structured dictionary learning is introduced to speaker recognition based on the Fisher criterion. In the process of learning the discrimination dictionary, each sub-dictionary of the learned dictionary corresponds to a class label, so the reconstruction error of the same training samples is small. Meanwhile, the sparse coding coefficients have small with-class scatter and big between-class scatter. On the NIST SRE 2003 database, the experimental results indicate that the proposed method achieves an Equal Error Rate (EER) of 7.62%, and the i-vector system based on cosine distance scoring gives an EER of 6.7%. Moreover, an EER of 5.07% is obtained by combining two systems.
