We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in the forensic comparison sciences. The new
paradigm can be characterised as quantitative data-based implementation of the likelihood …

Across forensic speech science, the likelihood ratio (LR) is increasingly becoming accepted
as the logically and legally correct framework for the expression of expert conclusions …

In this chapter focus will be on speech analysis in a forensic context. Both so called
aural/acoustic approaches and automatic methods will be considered and their application …

A growing number of studies in forensic voice comparison have explored how elements of
phonetic analysis and automatic speaker recognition systems may be integrated for optimal …

The research presented in this thesis examines the calculation of numerical likelihood ratios
using phonetic and linguistic parameters derived from a corpus of recordings of speakers of …

Fundamental frequency (F0) has been widely studied and used in the context of speaker
discrimination and forensic voice comparison casework, but most previous studies focused …

Acoustic measures of speech rhythm based on the durational characteristics of consonantal
and vocalic intervals (henceforth C-or V-intervals) as well as syllabic intensity reveal …

This article investigates to what extent and in what ways the size of the background
population afects the outcome of likelihood ratio (LR) based forensic voice comparison …

This paper investigates how change in population size affects the reliability of the likelihood
ratio (LR)-based forensic speaker classification. Using features of the long term F0 …

In the Western tradition, language has in general been investigated as embedded in the
tripartite framework “language–mind–reality,” which embodies an isomorphic relation of …
