摘要
This paper proposes the use of a type-2 fuzzy framework in the standard GMM-UBM based text-independent speaker verification systems. Based on type-2 fuzzy sets, the framework provides pertinence intervals for the models. The decision process is obtained using a Support Vectors Machine (SVM) that processes the interval likelihoods. A Voice Activity Detection (VAD) algorithm was also used to discard the parts of the speech signal without voice. The proposed method was tested on the MIT Device Speaker Verification Corpus which contains several different mobile devices used in different environments. The result shows the robustness of the system and the improvements in the verification ratios of the T2F-GMM-UBM compared to the classical GMM-UBM based systems.
