Forensic Voice Comparison Using Chinese /iau/

An acoustic-phonetic forensic-voice-comparison system extracted information from the formant trajectories of tokens of Standard Chinese /iau/. When this information was added to a generic automatic forensic-voice-comparison system, which did not itself exploit acoustic-phonetic information, there was a substantial improvement in system validity but a decline in system reliability.
