TLDR
In this paper, a method and apparatus for determining whether a speaker uttering an utterance belongs to a predetermined set comprising known speakers, wherein a training utterance is available for each known speaker.Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining whether a speaker uttering an utterance belongs to a predetermined set comprising known speakers, wherein a training utterance is available for each known speaker. The method and apparatus test whether features extracted from the tested utterance provide a score exceeding a threshold when matched against one or more of models constructed upon voice samples of each known speaker. The method and system further provide optional enhancements such as determining, using, and updating model normalization parameters, a fast scoring algorithm, summed calls handling, or quality evaluation for the tested utterance.read more

Comparison of four approaches to automatic language identification of telephone speech
TL;DR: Four approaches for automatic language identification of speech utterances are compared: Gaussian mixture model (GMM) classification; single-language phone recognition followed by languaged dependent, interpolated n-gram language modeling (PRLM); parallel PRLM, which uses multiple single- language phone recognizers, each trained in a different language; and languagedependent parallel phone recognition (PPR).
