A high-performance text-independent speaker identification of Arabic speakers using a CHMM-based approach

This paper reports an approach that depends on Continuous Hidden Markov Models (CHMMs) to identify Arabic speakers automatically from their voices. The Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) were selected to describe the speech signal. The general Gaussian density distribution HMM is developed...
