This paper describes our recent efforts in exploring effective discriminative features for speaker recognition. Recent researches have indicated that the appropriate fusion of features is critical to improve the performance of speaker recognition system. In this paper we describe our approaches for the NIST 2006 Speaker Recognition Evaluation. Our system integrated the cepstral GMM modeling, cepstral SVM modeling and tokenization at both phone level and frame level. The experimental results on both NIST 2005 SRE corpus and NIST 2006 SRE corpus are presented. The fused system achieved 8.14% equal error rate on 1conv4w-1conv4w test condition of the NIST 2006 SRE.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a practical automatic speaker recognition system for the CSLP speaker recognition evaluation (SRE). The speaker recognition system is built upon four subsystems using speaker information from acoustic spectral features. In addition to the conventional spectral features, a novel temporal discrete cosine transform (TDCT) feature is introduced in order to capture long-term speech dynamic. The speaker information is modeled using two complementary speaker modeling techniques, namely, Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and support vector machine (SVM). The resulting subsystems are then integrated at the score level through a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network. Evaluation results confirm that the feature selection, classifier design, and fusion strategy are successful, giving rise to an effective speaker recognition system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
