Automatic speaker's age classification in the Common Voice database
Adam Nowakowski, Włodzimierz Kasprzak · Annals of Computer Science and Information Systems · 2023
An approach to speaker's age classification using deep neural networks is described.Preliminary signal features are extracted, based on mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC).For gender classification an MLP network appears to be a satisfactory lightweight solution.For the age modelling and classification problem, two network types, ResNet34 and xvectors, were tested and compared.The impact of signal processing parameters and gender information (both theoretic perfect realistic imperfect) onto the age classification performance was experimentally studied.The neural networks were trained and verified on the large "Common Voice" dataset of English speech recordings.
