Abstract :
Two algorithms are given for automatically recognizing the gender of a speaker using acoustic parameters extracted from the speaker´s speech. The speech data used for developing the algorithms were taken from a large data set. Only acoustic parameters for vowels and fricatives were used to develop and test the algorithms because the authors wanted the gender classification to be achieved rapidly using only a brief data record
