摘要:
In detection systems, such as speaker verification systems, for a given operating point range, with an associated detection “cost”, the detection cost is preferably reduced by essentially trading off the system error in the area of interest with areas essentially “outside” that interest. Among the advantages achieved thereby are higher optimization gain and better generalization. From a measurable Detection Error Tradeoff (DET) curve of the given detection system, a criterion is preferably derived, such that its minimization provably leads to detection cost reduction in the area of interest. The criterion allows for selective access to the slope and offset of the DET curve (a line in case of normally distributed detection scores, a curve approximated by mixture of Gaussians in case of other distributions). By modifying the slope of the DET curve, the behavior of the detection system is changed favorably with respect to the given area of interest.

Methods and apparatus are provided for sequential authentication of a user that employ one or mole error rates characterizing each security challenge. According to one aspect of the invention, a user is challenged with at least one knowledge challenge to obtain an intermediate authentication result; and the user challenges continue until a cumulative authentication result satisfies one or more criteria. The intermediate authentication result is based, for example, on one or more of false accept and false reject error probabilities for each knowledge challenge. A false accept error probability describes a probability of a different user answering the knowledge challenge correctly. A false reject error probability describes a probability of a genuine user not answering the knowledge challenge correctly. The false accept and false reject error probabilities can be adapted based on field data or known information about a given challenge.

A technique for improved score calculation and normalization in a framework of recognition with phonetically structured speaker models. The technique involves determining, for each frame and each level of phonetic detail of a target speaker model, a non-interpolated likelihood value, and then resolving the at least one likelihood value to obtain a likelihood score.

A method and system for speaker recognition and identification includes transforming features of a speaker utterance in a first condition state to match a second condition state and provide a transformed utterance. A discriminative criterion is used to generate a transform that maps an utterance to obtain a computed result. The discriminative criterion is maximized over a plurality of speakers to obtain a best transform for recognizing speech and/or identifying a speaker under the second condition state. Speech recognition and speaker identity may be determined by employing the best transform for decoding speech to reduce channel mismatch.

Methods and apparatus for providing speech-based authentication, including the determination of a target discriminant based on an identity claim and on at least one target voiceprint model relating to a target speaker, of a background discriminant based on the identity claim and on at least one background voiceprint model relating to at least one background speaker, and of a score based on the target discriminant and the background discriminant, which score is used to accept or reject the identity claim.

There is provided an apparatus for providing a Text Independent (TI) speaker recognition mode in a Text Dependent (TD) Hidden Markov Model (HMM) speaker recognition system and/or a Text Constrained (TC) HMM speaker recognition system. The apparatus includes a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) generator and a Gaussian weight normalizer. The GMM generator is for creating a GMM by pooling Gaussians from a plurality of HMM states. The Gaussian weight normalizer is for normalizing Gaussian weights with respect to the plurality of HMM states.

A solid electrolytic capacitor that contains a capacitor element that includes an anode body, dielectric layer, and solid electrolyte is provided. The capacitor also contains an anode lead that is electrically connected to the anode body by a refractory metal paste (e.g., tantalum paste). The use of such a refractory metal paste allows the anode lead to be sinter bonded to a surface of the anode body after it is pressed. In this manner, a strong and reliable connection may be achieved without substantially decreasing the surface area of the lead that is available for connection to a termination. Furthermore, because the lead is not embedded within the anode body, the capacitor may be configured so that little, if any, portion of the lead extends beyond the anode body. This may result in a highly volumetrically efficient capacitor with excellent electrical properties.

A method of generating a statistical machine translation database through a game in which a monolingual structure is provided to a plurality of players. A first translation attempt is received from each of the plurality of players. The first translation attempt from each of the plurality of players is compared. Feedback is provided to each of the plurality of players and the attempts are received and compared to provide feedback to iteratively converge subsequent translations from each of the plurality of players into a final translated structure.

The present invention provides a system and method for treating distortion propagated though a detection system. The system includes a compensation module that compensates for untreated distortions propagating through the detection compensation system, a user model pool that comprises of a plurality of model sets, and a model selector that selects at least one model set from plurality of model sets in the user model pool. The compensation is accomplished by continually producing scores distributed according to a prescribed distribution for the at least one model set and mitigating the adverse effects of the scores being distorted and lying off a pre-set operating point.The method for treating distortion propagated though a detection system includes receiving a signal from a remote device, and compensating the signal for untreated distortions. The compensation includes selecting at least one relevant model set from a plurality of model sets, producing scores distributed according to a pre-described distribution for the at least one model set, and mitigating the adverse effect of the scores being distorted by rejecting a signal if it lies off a preset operating point.
