Closed-set automatic speaker identification using multi-scale recurrent networks in non-native children.

Abstract

Children may benefit from automatic speaker identification in a variety of applications, including child security, safety, and education. The key focus of this study is to develop a closed-set child speaker identification system for non-native speakers of English in both text-dependent and text-independent speech tasks in order to track how the speaker's fluency affects the system. The multi-scale wavelet scattering transform is used to compensate for concerns like the loss of high-frequency information caused by the most widely used mel frequency cepstral coefficients feature extractor. The proposed large-scale speaker identification system succeeds well by employing wavelet scattered Bi-LSTM. While this procedure is used to identify non-native children in multiple classes, average values of accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure are being used to assess the performance of the model in text-independent and text-dependent tasks, which outperforms the existing models.
