This book presents an overview of speaker recognition technologies with
an emphasis on dealing with robustness issues. Firstly, the book gives
an overview of speaker recognition, such as the basic system framework,
categories under different criteria, performance evaluation and its
development history. Secondly, with regard to robustness issues, the
book presents three categories, including environment-related issues,
speaker-related issues and application-oriented issues. For each
category, the book describes the current hot topics, existing
technologies, and potential research focuses in the future. The book is
a useful reference book and self-learning guide for early researchers
working in the field of robust speech recognition.
