A special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech &
Language Processing will be dedicated to recent advances in speaker and
language recognition. The need for fast, efficient, accurate, and robust means
of recognizing people and languages is of growing importance for commercial,
forensic, and government applications. The aim of this special issue is to
foster interactions among researchers in speaker and language recognition in
one of our society’s premier journals to foster future developments in the
field.
Prospective papers should be
unpublished and present solid research work offering innovative contributions
in speaker and language recognition. Submissions can include expanded versions
of recent workshop and conference papers. The following areas are of greatest
interest for this special issue:
|
·
Speaker
recognition (verification, identification, segmentation, and clustering) o Text-dependent and -independent speaker recognition o Multispeaker training and detection ·
Speaker
characterization and adaptation ·
Features for
speaker recognition ·
Robustness in
channels ·
Robust
classification and fusion ·
Use of extended
or limited training data |
· Speaker and language recognition corpora and
evaluation ·
Speaker
recognition with speech recognition · Forensic speaker recognition and characterization · Multimodal and multimedia speaker recognition ·
Speaker and
language confidence estimation ·
Language,
dialect, and accent recognition ·
Speaker
transformation · Voice- and speech-based biometrics ·
Use of
crosschannel and distant microphone data |
