CONF Genoud-96.2/IDIAP Combining methods to improve speaker verification decision Genoud, Dominique Bimbot, Frédéric Gravier, Guillaume Chollet, Gérard ICSLP, Ed. combining method dtw Fusion HMM sosm speaker recognition speaker verification EXTERNAL http://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/1996/rr96-02.pdf PUBLIC ICSLP - Proceedings of The Fourth International Conference on Spoken Language Processing 1996 ICSLP Philadelphia The aim of this paper is to describe how the combination of speaker verification algorithms with a priori decision thresholds can improve the overall robustness of a real application. The evaluation is performed in the context of a field application where each client is verified from a 7 digit pin code. This paper demonstrate that it is possible to increase the global performances of the system on combining the result of several algorithms.
