SUB-BAND PARTITIONING FOR FULL COVARIANCE BASED MISSING DATA SPEAKER RECOGNITION

Missing data processing has been successfully applied to speaker recognition tasks to increase robustness in noise. Previous work has demonstrated the benefit of using full covariance Gaussian mixtures for spectral based marginalization recognition. The drawback of using full covariance modeling with marginalization is the high computational cost. This paper examines subband covariance partitioning as a solution to reduce this computation. The reduced dimensionality of the individual sub-band covariances provides a computational speed-up for the necessary inversion and reliability partitioning operations. Experimental results show that the use of sub-band covariances can produce a significant reduction in the total computation time required to perform bounded marginalization recognition, while still approximating the high performance of full-band modeling.
