Adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion for language recognition

In order to alleviate the mismatch in model between training and testing samples caused by inter-language variations,adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion was proposed for language recognition.The local distance-based outlier factor (LDOF) criterion was defined to find the appropriate model parameters and dynamically select the training data subset similar to the testing samples from multiple class training sets.Then original back-end was adjusted to obtain a more matched recognition model.Experimental results on NIST LRE 2009 easily-confused language data set show that proposed method achieves an obvious performance improvement on both the equal error rate (ERR) and average decision cost function.
