Abstract

Caller identity verification can be improved by employing a multi-step verification that leverages speech features that are obtained from multiple interactions with a caller. An enrollment is performed in which customer speech features and customer information are collected. When a caller calls into the call center, an attempt is made to verify the caller's identity by requesting the caller to speak a predefined phrase, extracting speech features from the spoken phrase, and comparing the phrase. If the purported identity of the caller can be matched with one of the customers based on the comparison, the identity of the caller is verified. If the match cannot be made with a high enough degree of confidence, the customer is asked to speak any phrase that is not predefined. Features are extracted from the caller's speech, combined with features previously extracted from the predefined speech, and compared to the enrollment features.
