Performance of Language Identification (LID) System using Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) is limited by the convergence of Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm to local maxima. In this paper an LID system is described using Gaussian Mixture Models for the extracted features which are then trained using Split and Merge Expectation Maximization Algorithm that improves the global convergence of EM algorithm. It improves the learning of mixture models which in turn gives better LID performance. A maximum likelihood classifier is used for classification or identifying a language. The superiority of the proposed method is tested for four languages © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
