| Abstract(in English) | This paper presents a phonetic based approach for speaker identification performed in text-independent mode. The aim of this work is to improve identification performance by using information about the phonetic content of the speech. The identification systems is based on the technique of anchor models. In this system, the location of each speaker is represented by the speaker vector which consists of the set of the likelihood between a target utterance and the anchor models. In order to improve the identification performance, phonetic modeling is used instead of Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) scheme as anchor models. This approach utilizes a phonetic speech recognizer to calculate the log-likelihood with phonetic HMMs. We also investigate the number of parameters of anchor models. The proposed method was evaluated on Japanese speaker identification task with 30 speakers. It showed that the proposed method achieved 72.1% relative improvement over the GMM-based system. |
