Abstract

This paper summarizes the LIMSI participation in the CLEAR'06 acoustic speaker identification task that aims to identify speakers in CHIL seminars via the acoustic channel. The system consists of a standard Gaussian mixture model based system similar to systems developed for the NIST speaker recognition evaluations and includies feature warping of cepstral coefficients and MAP adaptation of a Universal Background Model. Several computational optimizations were implemented for real-time efficiency: stochastic frame subsampling for training, top-Gaussians scoring and auto-adaptive pruning for the tests, speeding up the system by more than a factor of ten.
