Abstract

So how is profiling actually done? Most of this book has been dedicated to developing the basic understanding needed for it. We have seen that the knowledge of how a parameter affects the vocal production mechanism can help us identify the most relevant representations from which we may extract the information needed for profiling. We have also seen how such knowledge can help us reason out why certain parameters may exert confusable influences on the voice signal. All of this knowledge can then help us design more targeted methods to discover features that are highly effective for profiling.

The variables are more appropriately called explanatory variables, since they may not be independent of one another.
