Speaker recognition with a MLP classifier and LPCC codebook

Abstract

This paper improves the speaker recognition rates of a MLP classifier and LPCC codebook alone, using a linear combination between both methods. In simulations we have obtained an improvement of 4.7% over a LPCC codebook of 32 vectors and 1.5% for a codebook of 128 vectors (error rate drops from 3.68% to 2.1%). Also we propose an efficient algorithm that reduces the computational complexity of the LPCC-VQ system by a factor of 4.
