Speaker Verification Experiments using Identity Vectors, on a Romanian Speakers Corpus

Abstract

One of the applications of speaker recognition technologies is in the forensics field. It is reasonable to assume that target speakers are not always cooperating, i.e., there are no available recordings, and even if they are, they are not always in the language for which the speaker was enrolled. In this study we present a set of experiments with an identity vector speaker recognition system, trained and tested with a Romanian language corpus (RoDigits), along with an assessment of its performance when there’s mismatch between training and testing language.
