Abstract :
Speaker identity verification is an useful biometric recognition approach. Native speaker verification has achieved some better effects. But non-native speaker verification remains a challenging task because of wide varieties of non-native accents. Based on two speech corpus, one native speech corpus and one non-native corpus, by means of speaker adaptation. Combined with traditional speaker verification and connected digits continuous speech recognition techniques, non-native speaker identity verification experiments are performed. The combined judging strategy is proved to be more effective by the final experimental results.
