• Title: NISP: A Multi-lingual Multi-accent Dataset for Speaker Profiling
• Abstract summary: We develop a new dataset which has speech data from five different Indian languages along with English. The metadata information for speaker profiling applications like linguistic information, regional information, and physical characteristics of a speaker are also collected. We call this dataset as NITK-IISc Multilingual Multi-accent Speaker Profiling (NISP) dataset.

• Abstract: Many commercial and forensic applications of speech demand the extraction of information about the speaker characteristics, which falls into the broad category of speaker profiling. The speaker characteristics needed for profiling include physical traits of the speaker like height, age, and gender of the speaker along with the native language of the speaker. Many of the datasets available have only partial information for speaker profiling. In this paper, we attempt to overcome this limitation by developing a new dataset which has speech data from five different Indian languages along with English. The metadata information for speaker profiling applications like linguistic information, regional information, and physical characteristics of a speaker are also collected. We call this dataset as NITK-IISc Multilingual Multi-accent Speaker Profiling (NISP) dataset. The description of the dataset, potential applications, and baseline results for speaker profiling on this dataset are provided in this paper.

  This paper introduces an analysis over six sets of speaker embeddings extracted with some of the most recent and high-performing DNN architectures. The dataset includes 46 speakers uttering the same set of prompts, recorded in either a professional studio or their home environments. The results show that the discriminative power of the analyzed embeddings is very high, yet across all the analyzed architectures, residual information is still present in the representations.
