singer recognition/speaker recognition with HTK tool kit

Question

I am making music retrieval with HTK toolkit

Especially,I would like to make singer recognition.

I think what I want to to do is close to speaker recognition.

SO I researched some samples and red red HTK book.

But still can't find good reference

Is there any good references for singer recognition or speaker recognition?

You can also try Microsoft Speaker Recognition APIs: https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/speaker-recognition-api#verification.

You can use the APIs for both verification & identification. Here are their C# & Python SDKs: https://github.com/Microsoft/ProjectOxford-ClientSDK/tree/master/SpeakerRecognition
