Abstract
A nonparametric technique for speaker recognition and verification is proposed. The proposed distance measures differ from existing distance measures by their symmetry. These measures have been evaluated on a t ext-dependent database, achieving a 99.6% verification rate for 200 Fr ench speakers. In addition, it is shown that the covariance carries mo re speaker information than the sample mean.
