Speaker recognition using residual signal of linear and nonlinear prediction models

This Paper discusses the usefulness of the residual signal for speaker recognition. It is shown that the combination of both a measure defined over LPCC coefficients and a measure defined over the energy of the residual signal gives rise to an improvement over the classical method which considers only the LPCC coefficients. If the residual signal is obtained from a linear prediction analysis, the improvement is 2.63% (error rate drops from 6.31% to 3.68%) and if it is computed through a nonlinear predictive neural nets based model, the improvement is 3.68%.
