N2  - Speaker recognition is the task of recognizing people from their voices. Speaker recognition is based on the extraction and modeling of acoustic features of speech that can differentiate individuals. These features conveys two kinds of biometric information: physiological properties (anatomical configuration of the vocal apparatus) and behavioral traits (speaking style). Automatic speaker recognition technology declines into four major tasks, speaker identification, speaker verification, speaker 
segmentation and speaker tracking. While these tasks are quite different by their potential applications, the underlying technologies are yet closely related.
