Abstract

Speaker recognition is a process of recognizing persons based on their voice which is widely used in many applications. Although many researches have been performed in this domain, there are some challenges that have not been addressed yet. In this research, Neutrosophic (NS) theory and convolutional neural networks (CNN) are used to improve the accuracy of speaker recognition systems. To do this, at first, the spectrogram of the signal is created from the speech signal and then transferred to the NS domain. In the next step, the alpha correction operator is applied repeatedly until reaching constant entropy in subsequent iterations. Finally, a convolutional neural networks architecture is proposed to classify spectrograms in the NS domain. Two datasets TIMIT and Aurora2 are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The precision of the proposed method on two datasets TIMIT and Aurora2 are 93.79% and 95.24%, respectively, demonstrating that the proposed model outperforms competitive models.
