    The paper proposes a forensic speaker verification method using autocorrelation-based MFCC features to improve robustness in intense background noise. It tests the proposed method and traditional MFCC on speech samples with white, red, and pink noise from -20dB to 20dB SNR. Autocorrelation-based MFCC provided better verification accuracy than MFCC in high noise levels. However, the paper could be improved by comparing performance to additional feature extraction methods. The reviewer rates the paper as acceptable with minor revisions.

    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCES AND SUSTAINABLE

    TECHNOLOGIES 2023
    CHRIST (Deemed to be University), India and Modern College of Business and Science, Oman
    ARTICLE REVIEW

    Paper ID: 204

    Paper Title: Forensic Speaker Verification Using GMM-UBM I Vector Method


    in Intensive Background Noise

    Review Questions:

    1. Title and Abstract (Give detailed comment for suitability of Title and Quality of the
    abstract)

    The speaker verification experiment has been conducted by adding White


    Gaussian Noise, Red Noise, and Pink noise with SNR ranging from -20 dB
    to +20 dB for forensic applications. The performance of both methods got
    affected drastically in call cases but autocorrelation based MFCC gave
    better results than MFCC. Thus, autocorrelation based MFCC is a
    valuable method for robust feature extraction when compared with
    MFCC for speaker verification purposes in intense background noise.
    The verification accuracy in this method is improved even in very high
    noise level (-20dB) than the reported research work.

    2. Literature Review / Background and Methods (Give detailed comments on the


    understanding of the research work proposed / used and adequacy of literature
    review)

    The proposed work has been explained clearly with intention of detecting
    the crime using speech recognition. The background of the study has been
    well explained and it clearly states about the Dravidian language
    Malayalam.

    3. Result analysis and conclusion (Give detailed comments for quality of result analysis
    and conclusion)

    MFCC based autocorrelation based with noisy speech samples. It


    produces excellent results with noiseless samples, but its performance
    suffers when used with noisy data. The verification experiment was
    carried out by incorporating White Gaussian Noise, Red Noise, and Pink
    Noise with SNR ranging from -20 dB to +20 dB. Noise had a significant
    impact on the performance of both methods in call cases, but
    autocorrelation based MFCC significantly outperforms MFCC.

    4. What are the strengths of this article? (Quality of research work like new methods
    proposed, relevant to societal needs, review paper, case study etc.)

    It is a good method to detect the crime using forensic speech recognition


    in a noiseless environment.

    5. What are the weaknesses of this article? (Basic study, poor organization of the
    paper, other ineffective aspects)

    It should also be compared with some other feature extraction methods


    other than MFCC.

    6. Overall Evaluation (Mention Points between 1 and 10 ) with Remarks

    7. Confidential remarks for the program committee.

    Paper is good with its quality

    8. Decision
    a. Accept
    b. Accept with minor revision
    c. Accept with major revision
    d. Reject

    If ‘Rejected’
