- Abstract: While the use of deep neural networks has significantly boosted speaker
recognition performance, it is still challenging to separate speakers in poor
acoustic environments. Here speech enhancement methods have traditionally
allowed improved performance. The recent works have shown that adapting speech
enhancement can lead to further gains. This paper introduces a novel approach
that cascades speech enhancement and speaker recognition. In the first step, a
speaker embedding vector is generated , which is used in the second step to
enhance the speech quality and re-identify the speakers. Models are trained in
an integrated framework with joint optimisation. The proposed approach is
evaluated using the Voxceleb1 dataset, which aims to assess speaker recognition
in real world situations. In addition three types of noise at different
signal-noise-ratios were added for this work. The obtained results show that
the proposed approach using speaker dependent speech enhancement can yield
better speaker recognition and speech enhancement performances than two
baselines in various noise conditions.
