Title
Sparse Representation for Speaker Identification
Abstract
We address the closed-set problem of speaker identification by presenting a novel sparse representation classification algorithm. We propose to develop an over complete dictionary using the GMM mean super vector kernel for all the training utterances. A given test utterance corresponds to only a small fraction of the whole training database. We therefore propose to represent a given test utterance as a linear combination of all the training utterances, thereby generating a naturally sparse representation. Using this sparsity, the unknown vector of coefficients is computed via l1minimization which is also the sparsest solution [12]. Ideally, the vector of coefficients so obtained has nonzero entries representing the class index of the given test utterance. Experiments have been conducted on the standard TIMIT [14] database and a comparison with the state-of-art speaker identification algorithms yields a favorable performance index for the proposed algorithm.
