Fast Speaker Adaptation Using Sub-Stream Based Eigenvoice

Sub-Stream 기반의 Eigenvoice를 이용한 고속 화자적응

In this paper, sub-stream based eigenvoice method is proposed to overcome the weak points of conventional eigenvoice and dimensional eigenvoice. In the proposed method, sub-streams are automatically constructed by the statistical clustering analysis that uses the correlation information between dimensions. To obtain the reliable distance matrix from covariance matrix for dividing into optimal sub-streams, MAP adaptation technique is employed to the covariance matrix of training data and the sample covariance of adaptation data. According to our experiments, the proposed method shows $41\%$ error rate reduction when the number of adaptation data is 50.
