Abstract:The automatic classification of accents has several potential applications, for instance, the identification and authentication of users, forensic investigation tools and the selection of specialized models in text-to-speech and speech-to-text systems. In this work, we propose and evaluate several architectures of artificial neural networks for accent classification. The performance of these architectures in the Braccent dataset was compared with the methods GMM-UBM, GMM-SVM and iVector. Experimental results s… Show more
