Abstract
A speaker identification system includes a speaker model generatorfor generating a plurality of speaker models. To this end, the generator records training utterances from a plurality of speakers in the background, without prior knowledge of the speakers who spoke the utterances. The generator performs a blind clustering of the training utterances based on a predetermined criterion. For each of the clusters a corresponding speaker model is trained. A speaker identifieridentifies a speaker determining a most likely one of the speaker models for an utterance received from the speaker. The speaker associated with the most likely speaker model is identified as the speaker of the test utterance.
