Abstract

In this paper we look at the parameterized feature-set that has been used in connected alpha-digit speech recognition and evaluate it on a speaker identification SID system. Compared to the popular mel-scaled featureset (MFCC) the parameterized feature-set gives over 21% improvement in identification rate on the NTIMIT database in some cases. On average it has a 14.0% improvement. This demonstrates how feature-sets can be used to improve the performance of speaker identification systems.
