Abstract
Automatic speaker recognition determines whether a person is who he/she claims to be without the intervention of another human being, from their voiceprint. In recent years different methods of voice analysis to fulfill this objective have been developed. At the moment, the development of computational auditory models that emulate the physiology and function of the inner ear have added a new tool in the field of speaker recognition, including the Triple Resonance Nonlinear filter. This paper studies the behavior of a bio-inspired model of inner ear applied to the speakers’s voice analysis. Their ability on speaker recognition tasks was statistically analyzed. We conclude, given the results obtained, that this system is an excellent tool, which shows a high rate of sensitivity and specificity in speaker recognition.
