Considering that the use of text information will be helpful to speaker recognition, a multi-model method is proposed to improve short-utterance speaker recognition (SUSR) in Chinese. We build a few phoneme class models for each speaker to represent different parts of the characteristic space and fuse the scores to fit the test data on the models with the purpose of increasing the matching degree between training models and test utterance. Experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved a relative EER reduction of about 26% compared with the traditional GMM-UBM method.Class models; Matching degree; Multi-model method; Speaker recognition; Speaker recognition system; Test data; Text information; Training model; Data processing; Speech recognitionA multi-model method for short-utterance speaker recognitionconference paper2-s2.0-84866883023
