Course1: Speaker and Language Recognition
Douglas Reynolds
Lincoln Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Doug joined the Information Systems Technology Group as a Member of Technical Staff in 1992 where he conducted research in the areas of robust speaker recognition (identification and verification), transient classification and robust speech representations for recognition. During this period he invented and developed several widely used techniques in the area of speaker recognition, such as robust modeling with GMMs, application of a universal background model to text-independent recognition tasks, the use of Bayesian adaptation to train and update speaker models, fast scoring techniques for GMM based systems, the development and use of a handset/channel-type detector, and several normalization techniques based on the handset/channel-type detector.
