COMBINED SPEECH RECOGNITION AND SPEAKER VERIFICATION OVER THE综合语音识别和说话人识别.ppt

Secure-Access System via Fixed and Mobile Telephone Networks using Voice Biometrics Authors: Anastasis Kounoudes, Anixi Antonakoudi, Vasilis Kekatos Introduction We propose a double-digit voice biometric system for secure access in telephone services. The system combines text-dependent speaker Authentication and also text validation. Main System Characteristics: Feature Extraction based on Perceptual Linear Prediction (PLP) coefficients and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) Concatenated phoneme HMMs for both speech recognition and user authentication Operates in a sound-prompted mode. Speech recognition and speaker verification performance was evaluated against: The length of the training data, The number of embedded re-estimations and Gaussian mixtures in training of the HMMs, The use of world models and bootstrapping, User-depended thresholds System Overview System Architecture Data Collection In-house database: Comprises of data that were collected over a period of four months over the GSM and PSTN networks. Contains speech samples from 23 speakers, which are categorized for enrolment and verification purposes. YOHO-PSTN: Replica of the YOHO corpus recorded over the PSTN network (using an analogue modem). YOHO-GSM Database: Replica of the YOHO corpus recorded over the GSM network (using an analogue modem). The YOHO database were used for initial training of the HMMs Text Validation (Speech Recognition) Aim: evaluate the performance of the text validation over the two telephone channels. The text validation performance is evaluated against: Number of embedded re-estimations used in training The utilisation of bootstrapping in training, The number of Gaussian mixtures of the HMM models, The incorporation of PLP and MFCC coefficients. Embedded Re-estimations Evaluation against: Number of embedded re-estimations of the Baum-Welch Algorithm on DD recognition performance. Models used: 12 MFCC + Normalized Energy + Delta + Delta-Delta Coef
