%0 Journal Article %T A Text¨CIndependent Speaker Identification System Based on the Zak Transform %A Abdulnasir Hossen & Said Al-Rawahy %J Signal Processing : An International Journal %D 2010 %I Computer Science Journals %X A novel text-independent speaker identification system based on the Zak transform is implemented. The data used in this paper are drawn from the ELSDSR database.The efficiency of identification approaches 91.3% using a single test file and 100% using two test files. The method shows comparable efficiency results with the well known MFCC method with an advantage of being faster in both modeling and identification. %K Speaker identification %K Zak transform %K Feature extraction %K Classification %U http://www.cscjournals.org/csc/manuscript/Journals/SPIJ/volume4/Issue2/SPIJ-74.pdf
