摘要: In this paper, the Bayes factor is considered as a replacement verification criterion to likelihood-ratio test in context of GMM-based speaker verification. An advantage Bayesian method that it allows for incorporation prior information and uncertainty parameter estimates into scoring process, complementing adaptation used training. A development factors GMMs presented based on incremental well-suited inclusion existing GMM-UBM systems. This extended include weighting frames account their statistical dependencies. Experiments 1999 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation corpus demonstrate improved performance over expected log-likelihood ratio scoring. These findings are supported with results from modified version Extended Data 2003.
