Abstract

The scope of this paper is to check influence of the size of the speech corpus on the speaker recognition performance. Obtained results for TIMIT corpus are compared with results obtained for smaller database ROBOT. Additionally influence of feature dimensionality and size of the speaker model was tested. Achieved results show that the best results can be obtained for MFCC features. The lowest EER for larger TIMIT database are 4 times worse than the best result for ROBOT corpus which confirms that biometric systems should be tested on as large data sets as possible to assure that achieved error rates are statistically significant.
