The VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2019 aimed to assess how well current speaker recognition technology is able to identify speakers in unconstrained or `in the wild' data. It consisted of: (i) a publicly available speaker recognition dataset from YouTube videos together with ground truth annotation and standar…

Study compares metric learning loss functions for speaker verification.
This paper investigates the influence of different acoustic features, audio-events based features and automatic speech translation based lexical features in complex emotion recognition such as curiosity. Pretrained networks, namely, AudioSet Net, VoxCeleb Net and Deep Speech Net trained extensively for different speech…
T-PSDA improves speaker recognition accuracy on toroidal submanifolds.
Todays interactive devices such as smart-phone assistants and smart speakers often deal with short-duration speech segments. As a result, speaker recognition systems integrated into such devices will be much better suited with models capable of performing the recognition task with short-duration utterances. In this pap…
Learning a good speaker embedding is important for many automatic speaker recognition tasks, including verification, identification and diarization. The embeddings learned by softmax are not discriminative enough for open-set verification tasks. Angular based embedding learning target can achieve such discriminativenes…
Improves speaker verification for variable-duration utterances using a feature pyramid module.
Speaker embeddings are continuous-value vector representations that allow easy comparison between voices of speakers with simple geometric operations. Among others, i-vector and x-vector have emerged as the mainstream methods for speaker embedding. In this paper, we illustrate the use of modern computation platform to …
The front-end factor analysis (FEFA), an extension of principal component analysis (PPCA) tailored to be used with Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), is currently the prevalent approach to extract compact utterance-level features (i-vectors) for automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems. Little research has been conduc…
FedUA trains UA models privately without raw data.
LSTM-based speaker verification usually uses a fixed-length local segment randomly truncated from an utterance to learn the utterance-level speaker embedding, while using the average embedding of all segments of a test utterance to verify the speaker, which results in a critical mismatch between testing and training. T…
Meta-learning framework improves short utterance speaker recognition.
Unified deep learning framework improves SV in noisy, reverberant, and long non-speech segments.
How secure automatic speaker verification (ASV) technology is? More concretely, given a specific target speaker, how likely is it to find another person who gets falsely accepted as that target? This question may be addressed empirically by studying naturally confusable pairs of speakers within a large enough corpus. T…
