Abstract: One of the largest challenges in speaker recognition is dealing with speaker-emotion variability problem.A neutral-emotion model transformation algorithm is presented to overcome this limitation,which builds a relationship between emotion and neutral models.In this method,only neutral speech is needed in training emotion models.The experiments on MASC show that the EER is reduced to 10.31% from the 16.06%,and the recognition performance can be improved by this algorithm.

Key words: speaker recognition, gaussian mixture model, emotion speech

摘要: 情绪变化问题是说话人识别技术面临的一个难题。为了解决该问题,提出了基于多项式方程拟合的中性-情感模型转换算法。该算法建立了中性模型和情感模型之间的函数关系,只需要说话人的中性语音就能训练其各种情感类型的说话人模型。在普通话情感语音库上的实验表明,采用该方法后识别算法的等错误率由16.06%降低到10.31%,提高了系统性能。
