Fusion of bottleneck, spectral and modulation spectral features for improved speaker verification of neutral and whispered speech
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-07-27)
Speech based biometrics is becoming a preferred method of identity management amongst users and companies. Current state-of-the-art speaker verification (SV) systems, however, are known to be strongly dependent on the ...
Classification of nonverbal human produced audio events: A pilot study
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-09-06)
The accurate classification of nonverbal human producedaudio events opens the door to numerous applications beyondhealth monitoring. Voluntary events, such as tongue clickingand teeth chattering, may lead to a novel way of ...
Fusion of auditory inspired amplitude modulation spectrum and cepstral features for whispered and normal speech speaker verification
(Academic Press, 2017-03-25)
Whispered speech is a natural speaking style that despite its reduced perceptibility, still contains relevant information regarding the intended message (i.e., intelligibility), as well as the speaker identity and gender. ...
Variants of mel-frequency cepstral coefficients for improved whispered speech speaker verification in mismatched conditions
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017-10-26)
In this paper, automatic speaker verification using normal and whispered speech is explored. Typically, for speaker verification systems, varying vocal effort inputs during the testing stage significantly degrades system ...
