    • Abstract:
      Social background profiling of speakers is heavily used in areas, such as, speech forensics, and tuning speech recognition for accuracy improvement. This article provides a survey of recent research in speaker background profiling in terms of accent classification and analyses the datasets, speech features, and classification models used for the classification tasks. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of recent research related to speaker background profiling and to present a comparative analysis of the achieved performance measures. Comprehensive descriptions of the datasets, speech features, and classification models used in recent research for accent classification have been presented, with a comparative analysis made on the performance measures of the different methods. This analysis provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the different methods for accent classification. Subsequently, research gaps have been identified, which serve as a useful resource for researchers looking to advance the field.
