SPEAKER SELECTING DEVICE, SPEAKER ADAPTIVE MODEL CREATING DEVICE, SPEAKER SELECTING METHOD, SPEAKER SELECTING PROGRAM, AND SPEAKER ADAPTIVE MODEL MAKING PROGRAM

摘要

To enable selection of a speaker, the acoustic feature value of which is similar to that of an utterance speaker, with accuracy and stability, while adapting to changes even when the acoustic feature value of the speaker changes every moment. A speaker score calculating means (22) calculates a long-time speaker score (log likelihood of each of a plurality of speaker models stored in a speaker model storage section (31) with respect to the acoustic feature value) based on an arbitrary number of utterances, for example, and calculates a short-time speaker score based on a short-time utterance, for example. A long-time speaker selecting means 23 selects speakers corresponding to a predetermined number of speaker models having a high long-time speaker score. A short-time speaker selecting means 24 selects speakers corresponding to the speaker models, the number of which is smaller than the predetermined number and the short-time speaker sore of which is high, from among the speakers selected by the long-time speaker selecting means 23.
