Title
SVM speaker verification using a new sequence Kernel
Abstract
Using the framework of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces, we develop a new sequence kernel that mea- sures similarity between sequences of observations. We then apply it to a text-independent speaker verification task using the NIST 2004 Speaker Recognition Eval- uation database. The results show that incorporating our new sequence kernel in an SVM training architec- ture not only yields performance significantly superior to those of a baseline UBM-GMM classifier but also out- performs the Generalized Linear Discriminant Sequence (GLDS) Kernel classifier. Moreover, our kernel maps to a relatively low dimensional feature space while allowing a large choice for the kernel function.
