Forensic speaker recognition with BA-LR: calibration and evaluation on a forensically realistic database
Résumé
The Likelihood Ratio (LR) is fundamental in presenting foren-
sic speaker recognition (FSR) results. Despite its theoretical
benefits, conventional LR estimation lacks transparency, imped-
ing courtroom reliability assessment. In response, the Binary-
Attribute-based Likelihood Ratio (BA-LR) framework models
speech extracts based on the presence or absence of a set of
speaker-specific attributes. It estimates the LR as a function
of attribute-based LRs. Previous works demonstrated BA-LR’s
three levels of interpretability: explicit computation of attribute-
based LRs, explicit contribution of these LRs to the final LR and
phonetic description of the attributes, promising a fully trans-
parent FSR solution. This work adds an examination of LR cal-
ibration using a forensically realistic database. Logistic regres-
sion is used for calibration purposes, as well as for a regularized
fusion of attribute-Log LRs. Results highlight robustness and
generalization ability of BA-LR, particularly in forensics.
