Item Factor analysis methods for joint speaker verification and spoof detection(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Dhanush, B.K.; Suparna, S.; Aarthy, R.; Likhita, C.; Shashank, D.; Harish, H.; Ganapathy, S.The performance of a speaker verification system is severely degraded by spoofing attacks generated from artificial speech synthesizers. Recently, several approaches have been proposed for classifying natural and synthetic speech (spoof detection) which can be used in conjunction with a speaker verification system. In this paper, we attempt to develop a joint modelling approach which can detect the presence of spoofing attacks while also performing the speaker verification task. We propose a factor modelling approach where the spoof variability subspace and the speaker variability subspace are jointly trained. The lower dimensional projections in these subspaces are used for speaker verification as well as spoof detection tasks. We also investigate the benefits of linear discriminant analysis (LDA), widely used in speaker recognition, for the spoof detection task. Several experiments are performed using the speaker and spoofing (SAS) database. For speaker verification, we compare the performance of the proposed method with a baseline method of fusing a conventional speaker verification system and a spoof detection system. In these experiments, the proposed approach provides substantial improvements for spoof detection (relative improvements of 20% in EER over the baseline) as well as speaker verification under spoofing conditions (relative improvements of 40% in EER over the baseline). © 2017 IEEE.Item Shortcomings of Vibrating Screen and Corrective Measures: A Review(Springer Nature, 2020) Shanmugam, B.K.; Vardhan, H.; Govinda Raj, M.; Kaza, M.; Sah, R.; Harish, H.Screening is a process of separating two or more materials of size ranging from fine to coarse of different shapes, particle sizes and densities. The conventional vibrating screen is widely used in mineral and mining industries for performing sizing operation. This paper will be on the review of the various shortcomings of the conventional vibrating screen. The review was carried out through literature survey and plant visit. The paper also involves the remedial measures to be taken to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional vibrating screen. Some of the corrective measures are reduction in number of components also reduces overall screen load, angular velocities, stress, wear or damages to the screen, screen replacement, downtime and overall cost of production. The circular vibrating motion provided to the screen will give larger amplitude and stroke length of the screen which increases screening efficiency. The overall outcome of remedial action will lead to improved screening efficiency. This paper also provides the idea for the optimization of the vibrating screen design which can reduce the power consumption, friction and also provide high screening output. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
