Abstract:
A speaker recognition device includes: a feature calculator that calculates two or more acoustic features of a voice of an utterance obtained; a similarity calculator that calculates two or more similarities, each being a similarity between one of one or more speaker-specific features of a target speaker for recognition and one of the two or more acoustic features; a combination unit that combines the two or more similarities to obtain a combined value; and a determiner that determines whether a speaker of the utterance is the target speaker based on the combined value. Here, (i) at least two of the two or more acoustic features have different properties, (ii) at least two of the two or more similarities have different properties, or (iii) at least two of the two or more acoustic features have different properties and at least two of the two or more similarities have different properties.
