On the Determination of Optimal Model Order for GMM-Based Text-Independent Speaker Identification

Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) are recently employed to provide a robust technique for speaker identification. The determination of the appropriate number of Gaussian components in a model for adequate speaker representation is a crucial but difficult problem. This number is in fact speaker dependen...
