Speech Based Gender Classification

Abstract

It has been seen that a wide variety of systems or spaces require efficient gender recognition schemes so as to
ensure their usage by a designated gender and hence to safe guard such sensitive systems and spaces from the wiles of an
impostor. The aim of this this paper is to introduce such system of gender classification and that the rendered services of
these sensitive systems are only used by a legitimate gender. One of the most unique characteristic of a person is his\her
speech. Speech based gender classification aims at extracting various features of human speech and dictates, how these
features can be used for gender classification. This paper gives an in-depth analysis as to how human speech can be used for
gender classification.
