Abstract :
This paper presents a new speaker classification scheme based on Australian accents which are broad, general and cultivated. Speakers are classified in to speaker groups according to their accents, ages and genders. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients extracted after speech processing were used to build Gaussian speaker group mixture models. Fusion of speaker group classifiers is then performed. Experiments showed high performance for the proposed method.
