1. A method for causing a computer to perform speaker identification, the computer executing code stored on a computer readable medium, the code comprising instructions for: the computer extracting one or more features from training data comprising utterances from known speakers transmitted over a lossy channel, the training data comprising packet losses; the computer obtaining at least one parameter set corresponding to the features of the training data of each known speaker; the computer extracting one or more features from test data comprising utterances from an unknown speaker; the computer determining a probability for each parameter set that the features from the test data arise from that parameter set; and the computer identifying the unknown speaker by determining which known speaker's parameter set maximizes the probability.
