Kernal based speaker specific feature extraction and its applications in iTaukei cross language speaker recognition

Extraction and classification algorithms based on kernel nonlinear features are popular in the new direction of research in machine learning. This research paper considers their practical application in the iTaukei automatic speaker recognition system (ASR) for cross-language speech recognition. Second, nonlinear speaker-specific extraction methods such as kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), kernel independent component analysis (KICA), and kernel linear discriminant analysis (KLDA) are summarized. The conversion effects on subsequent classifications were tested in conjunction with Gaussian mixture modeling (GMM) learning algorithms; in most cases, computations were found to have a beneficial effect on classification performance. Additionally, the best results were achieved by the Kernel linear discriminant analysis (KLDA) algorithm. The performance of the ASR system is evaluated for clear speech to a wide range of speech quality using ATR Japanese C language corpus and self-recorded iTaukei corpus. The ASR efficiency of KLDA, KICA, and KLDA technique for 6 sec of ATR Japanese C language corpus 99.7%, 99.6%, and 99.1% and equal error rate (EER) are 1.95%, 2.31%, and 3.41% respectively. The EER improvement of the KLDA technique-based ASR system compared with KICA and KPCA is 4.25% and 8.51% respectively

Decorrelation of Neutral Vector Variables: Theory and Applications

In this paper, we propose novel strategies for neutral vector variable decorrelation. Two fundamental invertible transformations, namely serial nonlinear transformation and parallel nonlinear transformation, are proposed to carry out the decorrelation. For a neutral vector variable, which is not multivariate Gaussian distributed, the conventional principal component analysis (PCA) cannot yield mutually independent scalar variables. With the two proposed transformations, a highly negatively correlated neutral vector can be transformed to a set of mutually independent scalar variables with the same degrees of freedom. We also evaluate the decorrelation performances for the vectors generated from a single Dirichlet distribution and a mixture of Dirichlet distributions. The mutual independence is verified with the distance correlation measurement. The advantages of the proposed decorrelation strategies are intensively studied and demonstrated with synthesized data and practical application evaluations
