Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for providing voice authentication of a candidate speaker. Training data sets are accessed, where each training data set comprises data associated with a training speech sample of a speaker and a plurality of speaker metrics, where the plurality of speaker metrics include a native language of the speaker. The training data sets are used to train a neural network, where the data associated with each training speech sample is a training input to the neural network, and each of the plurality of speaker metrics is a training output to the neural network. Data associated with a speech sample is provided to the neural network to generate a vector that contains values for the plurality of speaker metrics, and the values contained in the vector are compared to values contained in a reference vector associated with a known person to determine whether the candidate speaker is the known person.
