Journal Article
Nassif, A. B., Alnazzawi, N., Shahin, I., Salloum, S. A., Hindawi, N., Lataifeh, M., & Elnagar, A. (2022). A Novel RBFNN-CNN Model for Speaker Identification in Stressful Talking Environments. Applied Sciences, 12(10), 4841. https://doi.org/10.3390/app12104841Speaker identification systems perform almost ideally in neutral talking environments. However, these systems perform poorly in stressful talking environments. In this paper, we present an effective approach for enhancing the performance of speaker i...
