Handset-Dependent Background Models for Robust Text-Independent Speaker Recognition

SRI International April 1, 1997

Abstract

This paper studies the e ffects of handset distortion on telephone-based speaker recognition performance, resulting in the following observations: (1) the major factor in speaker recognition errors is whether the handset type (e.g., electret, carbon) is diff erent across training and testing, not whether the telephone lines are mismatched, (2) the distribution of speaker recognition scores for true speakers is bimodal, with one mode dominated by matched handset tests and the other by mismatched handsets, (3) cohort-based normalization methods derive much of their performance gains from implicitly selecting cohorts trained with the same handset type as the claimant, and (4) utilizing a handset-dependent background model which is matched to the handset type of the claimant’s training data sharpens and separates the true and false speaker score distributions.
