The goal of this project will be to build a speaker recognition system. Broadly speaking, given a sample of somebody saying a particular piece of text (for example the person's name), the system should be able to identify the person who said it from amongst those in the database. Furthermore, the system should be able to catch ``imposters'' who try to say somebody else's name. While there are many approaches to this problem, we will guide you through one particular approach which has become relatively standard in the literature and works reasonably well.
