Online text-independent speaker verification system using autoassociative neural network models

In this paper, we present an approach based on autoassociative neural network (AANN) model for online implementation of text-independent speaker verification system. The distribution capturing ability of an AANN model is exploited to build the speaker model. A rank-based approach using individual background models is used to verify the claim of the speaker.
