• Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNN) have recently been widely used in speaker recognition systems, achieving state-of-the-art performance on various benchmarks. The x-vector architecture is especially popular in this research community, due to its excellent performance and manageable computational complexity. In this paper, we present the lrx-vector system, which is the low-rank factorized version of the x-vector embedding network. The primary objective of this topology is to further reduce the memory requirement of the speaker recognition system. We discuss the deployment of knowledge distillation for training the lrx-vector system and compare against low-rank factorization with SVD. On the VOiCES 2019 far-field corpus we were able to reduce the weights by 28% compared to the full-rank x-vector system while keeping the recognition rate constant (1.83% EER).

• Self-attention encoding and pooling for speaker recognition [16.96341561111918]
  We propose a tandem Self-Attention and Pooling (SAEP) mechanism to obtain a discriminative speaker embedding given non-fixed length speech utterances. SAEP encodes short-term speaker spectral features into speaker embeddings to be used in text-independent speaker verification. We have evaluated this approach on both VoxCeleb1 & 2 datasets.

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.

  We investigate the use of deep embedding extractor and i-vector extractor in succession. To bundle the deep embedding extractor with an i-vector extractor, we adopt aggregation layers inspired by the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to the embedding extractor networks. We compare the deep embeddings to the proposed neural i-vectors on the Speakers in the Wild (SITW) and the Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE) 2018 and 2019 datasets.

  We propose an unsupervised speaker adaptation method inspired by the neural Turing machine for end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) The proposed model contains a memory block that holds speaker i-vectors extracted from the training data and reads relevant i-vectors from the memory through an attention mechanism. We show that M-vectors, which do not require an auxiliary speaker embedding extraction system at test time, achieve similar word error rates (WERs) compared to i-vectors for single speaker utterances and significantly lower WERs for utterances in which there are speaker changes

  Speaker recognition systems based on deep speaker embeddings have achieved significant performance in controlled conditions. Speaker verification on short utterances in uncontrolled noisy environment conditions is one of the most challenging and highly demanded tasks. This paper presents approaches aimed to achieve two goals: a) improve the quality of far-field speaker verification systems in the presence of environmental noise, reverberation and b) reduce the system qualitydegradation for short utterances.
