Abstract

See full text

Typical speaker verification systems usually employ speakers' audio data collected during an enrollment phase when users enroll with the system and provide respective voice samples. Due to technical, business, or other constraints, the enrollment data may not be large enough or rich enough to encompass different inter-speaker and intra-speaker variations. According to at least one embodiment, a method and apparatus employing classifier adaptation based on field data in a deployed voice-based interactive system comprise: collecting representations of voice characteristics, in association with corresponding speakers, the representations being generated by the deployed voice-based interactive system; updating parameters of the classifier, used in speaker recognition, based on the representations collected; and employing the classifier, with the corresponding parameters updated, in performing speaker recognition.
