Exploring the role of phonetic bottleneck features for speaker and language recognition

Using bottleneck features extracted from a deep neural network (DNN) trained to predict senone posteriors has resulted in new, state-of-the-art technology for language and speaker identification. For language identification, the features' dense phonetic information is believed to enable improve...
