Biometric Voice Identification Based on Fuzzy Kernel Classifier

Abstract

This paper presents research on automatic speaker identification based on structural risk minimization and kernel functions. New approach, known as a Fuzzy Kernel Ho-Kashyap classifier FKHK, to speaker identification was applied. Instead of the most popular kernel functions like gaussian or polynomial, data dependent kernel matrix which may be interpreted in terms of linguistic values from the premises of if-then rules was applied. Classifier was tested on polish speech corpora ROBOT and obtained results were discussed. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
