Speaker Identification System (upto 100% accuracy); built using Python 2.7 and python_speech_features library

speaker-Identification-System using Python (2.x)

Audio information plays a rather important role in the increasing digital content that is available today; resulting in a need for methodologies that automatically analyze such content. Speaker Identification is one of the vital field of research based upon Voice Signals. Its other notable fields are: Speech Recognition, Speech-to-Text Conversion, and vice versa, etc. Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) is considered a key factor in performing Speaker Identification. But, there are other features lists available as an alternate to MFCC; like- Linear Predictor Coefficient (LPC), Spectrum Sub-band Centroid (SSC), Rhythm, Turbulence, Line Spectral Frequency (LPF), ChromaFactor, etc. Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is the most popular model for training on our data. The training task can also be executed on other significant models; viz. Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Recently, most of the model training phase for a speaker identification project is executed using Deep learning; especially, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). In this project, we are mainly focused on implementing MFCC and GMM in pair to achieve our target. We have considered MFCC with “tuned parameters” as the primary feature and delta- MFCC as secondary feature. And, we have implemented GMM with some tuned parameters to train our model. We have performed this project on two different kinds of Dataset; viz. “VoxForge” Dataset and a custom dataset which we have prepared by ourselves. We have obtained an outstanding result on both of these Datasets; viz. 100% accuracy on VoxForge Dataset and 95.29 % accuracy on self prepared Dataset. We demonstrate that speaker identification task can be performed using MFCC and GMM together with outstanding accuracy in Identification/ Diarization results.

Methodology used:

1.) Noise reduction and Silence Removal - Audacity Software

2.) Feature Extraction - featureextraction.py ( library - python_speech_features)

3.) Model Training - modeltraining.py ( GMM )

4.) testing - test.py

Documentation file and screenshots in documentation/ folder.

Repo Description:

SampleData/ - consists test audio files. (custom dataset)

Speakers_models/ - consists .gmm model trained files. 1 file for each speaker .( self made custom dataset)

development_set/ - Voxforge Dataset. 1 folder for each speaker voice sample.

documentation/ - contains screenshots and project file.
