Abstract: This paper presents a novel feature extraction method to improvethe performance of speaker identification systems. The proposedfeature has a form of a typical conventional feature, melfrequency ceptral coefficients (MFCC), but a flexiblesegmentation to reduce spectral mismatch between training andtesting processes. Specifically, the length and shift size of theanalysis frame are determined by a pitch synchronous method, pitchsynchronous MFCC (PSMFCC). To verify the performance of the newfeature, we measure the cepstral distortion between training andtesting and also perform closed set speaker identification tests.With text-independent and text-dependent experiments, theproposed algorithm provides 44.3% and 26.7% relativeimprovement respectively.
