A Novel Alternative Hypothesis Characterization Using Kernel Classifiers for LLR-Based Speaker Verification
In a log-likelihood ratio (LLR)-based speaker verification system, the alternative hypothesis is usually ill-defined and hard to characterize a priori, since it should cover the space of all possible impostors...
