| contents | While deep learning models have demonstrated robust performance in speaker recognition tasks, they primarily rely on low-level audio features learned empirically from spectrograms or raw waveforms. However, prior work has indicated that idiosyncratic speaking styles heavily influence the temporal structure of linguistic units in speech signals (rhythm). This makes rhythm a strong yet largely overlooked candidate for a speech identity feature. In this paper, we test this hypothesis by applying deep learning methods to perform text-independent speaker identification from rhythm features. Our findings support the usefulness of rhythmic information for speaker recognition tasks but also suggest that high intra-subject variability in ad-hoc speech can degrade its effectiveness. |
