Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeaker Identification: A Hybrid Approach Using Neural Networks and Wavelet TransformMuzhir Shaban Al-Ani, Thabit Sultan Mohammed, Karim M. AljeboryIn speaker identification systems, a database is constructed from the speech samples of known speakers. The approach implemented in this paper is hybrid, where the wavelet transform and neural networks are used together to form a system with improved performance. Features are extracted by applying a discrete wavelet transform (DWT), while a neural network (NN) is used for formulating the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,072 accessesView PDF Cite
