• Abstract summary: We propose the first neural architecture search approach approach for the speaker recognition tasks, named as AutoSpeech. Our algorithm first identifies the optimal operation combination in a neural cell and then derives a CNN model by stacking the neural cell for multiple times. Results demonstrate that the derived CNN architectures significantly outperform current speaker recognition systems based on VGG-M, ResNet-18, and ResNet-34 back-bones, while enjoying lower model complexity.

• Abstract: Speaker recognition systems based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are often built with off-the-shelf backbones such as VGG-Net or ResNet. However, these backbones were originally proposed for image classification, and therefore may not be naturally fit for speaker recognition. Due to the prohibitive complexity of manually exploring the design space, we propose the first neural architecture search approach approach for the speaker recognition tasks, named as AutoSpeech. Our algorithm first identifies the optimal operation combination in a neural cell and then derives a CNN model by stacking the neural cell for multiple times. The final speaker recognition model can be obtained by training the derived CNN model through the standard scheme. To evaluate the proposed approach, we conduct experiments on both speaker identification and speaker verification tasks using the VoxCeleb1 dataset. Results demonstrate that the derived CNN architectures from the proposed approach significantly outperform current speaker recognition systems based on VGG-M, ResNet-18, and ResNet-34 back-bones, while enjoying lower model complexity.

  The proposed approach classifies into three classes: non-speech, single speaker speech, and overlapped speech. A convolutional recurrent neural network architecture is explored to benefit from both convolutional layer's capability to model local patterns and recurrent layer's ability to model sequential information. The proposed overlapped speech detection model establishes a state-of-the-art performance with a precision of 0.6648 and a recall of 0.3222 on the DIHARD II evaluation set.

  We propose a network layer to enhance the speech command recognition capability of a lightweight network. The employed method borrows the ideas of Taylor expansion and quadratic forms to construct a better representation of features in both input and hidden layers. This richer representation results in recognition accuracy improvement as shown by extensive experiments on Google speech commands (GSC) and synthetic speech commands (SSC) datasets.

  We build upon a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN) composed of a quantum circuit encoder for feature extraction. An input speech is first up-streamed to a quantum computing server to extract Mel-spectrogram. The corresponding convolutional features are encoded using a quantum circuit algorithm with random parameters. The encoded features are then down-streamed to the local RNN model for the final recognition.
