We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in the forensic comparison sciences. The new paradigm can be characterised as quantitative data-based implementation of the likelihood-ratio framework with quantitative evaluation of the reliability of results. The new paradigm was widely adopted for DNA profile comparison in the 1990s, and is gradually spreading to other branches of forensic science, including forensic voice comparison. The present paper first describes the new paradigm, then describes the history of its adoption for forensic voice comparison over approximately the last decade. The paradigm shift is incomplete and those working in the new paradigm still represent a minority within the forensic-voice-comparison community.
我们正处于法医鉴定比较科学的范式转变之中。新范式的特点是基于定量数据实施似然比框架,并对结果的可靠性进行定量评估。这种新范式在20世纪90年代被广泛应用于DNA图谱比对,目前正逐渐推广到法医学的其他分支,包括法医语音比对。本文首先描述了这种新范式,然后讲述了在过去大约十年里它被应用于法医语音比对的历程。这种范式转变尚未完成,在新范式下工作的人员在法医语音比对领域仍占少数。
