Research in automatic Speaker Identification (SID) has ignored key problems such as far-field speaker recognition and SID in the presence of noise. When speech data is collected by microphones more than a few inches away from the speaker, room acoustics and noise sources become important.

In a room with lively acoustics, echo and multi-path propagation become key concerns. This project aims to study the far-field effects on current state-of-the-art SID systems and investigate strategies to improve SID system performance in far-field scenarios.
