隨著語音辨認技術的純熟及語音應用範圍的擴大，語者辨識的研究已經越來越受重視。本論文應用現今幾種語音辨認中常用的技術來完成語者辨識系統，並利用現今熱門的機器學習技術來嘗試做語者辨識的模型。
在文句相關實驗中，也就是在做辨認時，必須先知道語者所說語音的內容，我們使用了三種方法來做探討，其中隱藏式馬可夫模型和向量量化模型為大家廣泛使用的方法，雖然在實驗結果上面有不錯的效果，但是總體來說支向機的表現結果為最好，相等錯誤率為0.5%。
在文句不相關實驗中，也就是我們不知道語者說話的內容，只能憑藉其聲學特徵來做辨識，使用了文句相關與文句不相關兩種方式來做探討，並結合本論文所提出的特徵擷取的方式來做特徵的選取，由實驗結果發現，支向機的效果依舊比向量量化模型來的優，相等錯誤率為1.89%，且支向機若是經由特徵擷取之後，辨識結果比單獨使用支向機更好，相等錯誤率為1.24%，但是由實驗結果也發現若是刪除太多的語者資訊，則辨識率會變差。

Due to the development of the speech recognition, speaker recognition technology leads to various biometric applications and attracts a lot of attentions. In this thesis, several common technologies used in speech are applied to speaker recognition system. This system is modeled by a machine learning system which is a popular research area now.
In the experiment of a text dependent speaker recognition system, this means we need to know the content of the speech in advance while the identification processing is proceeded. We compare three different methods using in speaker recognition. Hidden Markov Model and Vector Quantization Model have been broadly used. Although their experimental results are good, the results are still not as good as the result of using Support Vector Machine. The percentage of Equal Error Rate (EER) of a speaker recognition system using Support Vector Machine is 0.5%.
In the experiment of text independent system, the content of speech is unimportant, and only the speech features are used to identify the speaker. We discuss in two ways and integrate with the feature selection brought up by this thesis to extract features. It can be known from the results of the experiment that the outcome of speaker identification system by using Support Vector Machine is better than that of using Vector Quantization. The EER% of Support Vector Machine is 1.89%. The identification result will be even better than that only using Support Vector Machine after feature selection. The EER% of it will be 1.24%. However, if we delete too much feature information of a speaker, the identification rate will be worse.
