Abstract :
We study the effectiveness of the features extracted from the source and system components of the speech production process for the purpose of speaker recognition. The source and system components are derived using linear prediction (LP) analysis of short segments of speech. The source component is the LP residual derived from the signal, and the system component is a set of weighted linear prediction cepstral coefficients. The features are captured implicitly by a feedforward autoassociative neural network (AANN). Two separate speaker models are derived by training two AANN models using feature vectors corresponding to source and system components. A speaker recognition system for 20 speakers is built and tested using both the models to evaluate the performance of source and system features. The study demonstrates the complementary nature of the two components
