Language Recognition
Language Recognition from Speech Signals
Language recognition is the task of recognizing the spoken language in a speech utterance. It has applications in multilingual translation systems, automatic speech recognition, targeted advertising, forensics and biometric authentication.
In this project, we aimed to develop a robust language recognition system.
The 2015 NIST Language Recognition Evaluation: The Shared View of I2R, Fantastic4 and SingaMS
In this paper, we presented a shared view of five institutions resulting from our collaboration towards Language Recognition Evaluation 2015 submissions. We have witnessed a major paradigm shift in adopting deep neural network (DNN) for both feature extraction and classifier.

A0_size_amir_odyssey2016_poster.pdfIncorporating Uncertainty as a Quality Measure in I-Vector Based Language Recognition
In this work, we introduced a new quality measure which represents the uncertainty in estimation of the i-vectors extracted from speech signals. Then, we incorporate it into the recognition process to improve the language recognition accuracy.
