ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of a system, method and computer program product for verifying an identity claimed by a claimant using voiced to unvoiced classifiers are described. In accordance with one embodiment, a speech sample from a claimant claiming an identity may be captured. From the speech sample, a ratio of unvoiced frames to a total number of frames in the speech sample may be calculated. An equal error rate value corresponding to the speech sample can then be determined based on the calculated ratio. The determined equal error rate value corresponding to the speech sample may be compared to an equal error rate value associated with the claimed identity in order to select a decision threshold. A match score may be also be generated based on a comparison of the speech sample to a voice sample associated with the claimed identity. A decision whether to accept the identity claim of the claimant can then be made based on a comparison of the match score to the decision threshold.
