Summary
In this paper we discuss an extension to the widely used score normalization technique of test normalization (Tnorm) for text-independent speaker verification. A new method of speaker Adaptive-Tnorm that offers advantages over the standard Tnorm by adjusting the speaker set to the target model is presented. Examples of this improvement using the 2004 NIST SRE data are also presented.
