Abstract

Robust automatic speaker verification has become increasingly desirable in recent years with the growing trend toward remote security verification procedures for telephone banking, bio-metric security measures and similar applications. While many approaches have been applied to this problem, genetic programming offers inherent feature selection and solutions that can be meaningfully analysed, making it well suited to this task. This paper introduces a genetic programming system to evolve programs capable of speaker verification and evaluates its performance with the publicly available TIMIT corpora. We also show the effect of a simulated telephone network on classification results which highlights the principal advantage, namely robustness to both additive and convolutive noise
