Phonetic Richness for Improved Automatic Speaker Verification
When it comes to authentication in speaker verification systems, not all utterances are created equal. It is essential to estimate the quality of test utterances in order to account for varying acoustic conditions. In addition to the net-speech duration of an utterance, it is observed in this paper that phonetic richness is also a key indicator of utterance quality, playing a significant role in accurate speaker verification. Several phonetic histogram based formulations of phonetic richness are explored using transcripts obtained from an automatic speaker recognition system. The proposed phonetic richness measure is found to be positively correlated with voice authentication scores across evaluation benchmarks. Additionally, the proposed measure in combination with net speech helps in calibrating the speaker verification scores, obtaining a relative EER improvement of 5.8% on the Voxceleb1 evaluation protocol. The proposed phonetic richness based calibration provides higher benefit for short utterances with repeated words.
