Abstract

In this paper we have presented new features for language identification, based on speaker adaptation vectors from sub-space Gaussian Mixture Models.

Annotation

In this paper, we explore new high-level features for language identification. The recently introduced Subspace Gaussian Mixture Models (SGMM) provide an elegant and efficient way for GMM acoustic modelling, with mean supervectors represented in a low-dimensional representative subspace. SGMMs also provide an efficient way of speaker adaptation by means of lowdimensional vectors. In our framework, these vectors are used as features for language identification. They are compared with our acoustic iVector system, which architecture is currently considered state-of-the-art for Language Identification and Speaker Verification. The results of both systems and their fusion are reported on the NIST LRE2009 dataset.
