Investigation of Speaker Identification Based on Nasal Phonation.

Abstract

Short segments of a restricted set of words from one speaker were sampled, processed, and the resulting vector is used to represent the speaker. Representative vectors were formed for several speakers and correlated and with vectors representing individual words from 'test' speakers. The magnitude of the correlations of the word vectors with various speaker vectors were used to identify the speaker. Some limited success was achieved and, just as important, critical problem areas are noted which, if improved upon as recommended, promise an improved identification capability. Two different word lists fundamental to the identification process were also investigated. (Author)
