Abstract
A speaker recognition algorithm is trained (one or more of its models are tuned) with samples of a microphone signal produced by an inside microphone of a headphone, while the headphone is worn by a speaker. The trained speaker recognition algorithm then tests other samples of the inside microphone signal and produces multiple speaker identification scores for its given models, or a single speaker verification likelihood score for a single given model. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
