Vocal Tract Disparity and Potential Implications for Speaker Recognition

2026-08-27

Abstract excerpt

Perceptual experiments show that listeners recognize female speakers with lower accuracy than male speakers. Automatic speaker recognition systems may also show performance bias against female speakers even when training data sets are gender balanced. The underlying reasons for this discrepancy are unclear. Here, we apply geometric morphometrics to quantify sex-related morphological vocal tract disparity -- the ex...
