Enhancing speaker identification performance under the shouted talking condition using second-order circular hidden Markov models
share
It is known that the performance of speaker identification systems is high under the neutral talking condition; however, the performance deteriorates under the shouted talking condition. In this paper, second-order circular hidden Markov models (CHMM2s) have been proposed and implemented to enhance the performance of isolated-word text-dependent speaker identification systems under the shouted talking condition. Our results show that CHMM2s significantly improve speaker identification performance under such a condition compared to the first-order left-to-right hidden Markov models (LTRHMM1s), second-order left-to-right hidden Markov models (LTRHMM2s), and the first-order circular hidden Markov models (CHMM1s). Under the shouted talking condition, our results show that the average speaker identification performance is 23 LTRHMM1s, 59 the average speaker identification performance under the same talking condition based on CHMM2s is 72
