We propose a learnable mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) frontend architecture for deep neural network (DNN) based automatic speaker verification. Our architecture retains the simplicity and interpretability of MFCC-based features while allowing the model to be adapted to data flexibly. In practice, we formulate data-driv

Although deep neural networks are successful for many tasks in the speech domain, the high computational and memory costs of deep neural networks make it difficult to directly deploy highperformance Neural Network systems on low-resource embedded dev
ices. There are several mechanisms to reduce the size of the neural networks i.e. parameter pruning, parameter quantization, etc. This paper focuses on how to apply binary neural networks to the task of speaker verification. The proposed binarization of training parameters can largely maintain the performance while significantly reducing storage space requirements and computational costs. Experiment results show that, after binarizing the Convolutional Neural Network, the ResNet34-based network achieves an EER of around 5% on the Voxceleb1 testing dataset and even outperforms the traditional real number network on the text-dependent dataset: Xiaole while having a 32x memory saving.
Automatic speaker verification (ASV), one of the most important technology for biometric identification, has been widely adopted in security-critical applications, including transaction authentication and access control. However, previous work has sh
own that ASV is seriously vulnerable to recently emerged adversarial attacks, yet effective countermeasures against them are limited. In this paper, we adopt neural vocoders to spot adversarial samples for ASV. We use the neural vocoder to re-synthesize audio and find that the difference between the ASV scores for the original and re-synthesized audio is a good indicator for discrimination between genuine and adversarial samples. This effort is, to the best of our knowledge, among the first to pursue such a technical direction for detecting adversarial samples for ASV, and hence there is a lack of established baselines for comparison. Consequently, we implement the Griffin-Lim algorithm as the detection baseline. The proposed approach achieves effective detection performance that outperforms all the baselines in all the settings. We also show that the neural vocoder adopted in the detection framework is dataset-independent. Our codes will be made open-source for future works to do comparison.
In this paper, we propose a new differentiable neural network alignment mechanism for text-dependent speaker verification which uses alignment models to produce a supervector representation of an utterance. Unlike previous works with similar approach
es, we do not extract the embedding of an utterance from the mean reduction of the temporal dimension. Our system replaces the mean by a phrase alignment model to keep the temporal structure of each phrase which is relevant in this application since the phonetic information is part of the identity in the verification task. Moreover, we can apply a convolutional neural network as front-end, and thanks to the alignment process being differentiable, we can train the whole network to produce a supervector for each utterance which will be discriminative with respect to the speaker and the phrase simultaneously. As we show, this choice has the advantage that the supervector encodes the phrase and speaker information providing good performance in text-dependent speaker verification tasks. In this work, the process of verification is performed using a basic similarity metric, due to simplicity, compared to other more elaborate models that are commonly used. The new model using alignment to produce supervectors was tested on the RSR2015-Part I database for text-dependent speaker verification, providing competitive results compared to similar size networks using the mean to extract embeddings.
Although speaker verification has conventionally been an audio-only task, some practical applications provide both audio and visual streams of input. In these cases, the visual stream provides complementary information and can often be leveraged in c
onjunction with the acoustics of speech to improve verification performance. In this study, we explore audio-visual approaches to speaker verification, starting with standard fusion techniques to learn joint audio-visual (AV) embeddings, and then propose a novel approach to handle cross-modal verification at test time. Specifically, we investigate unimodal and concatenation based AV fusion and report the lowest AV equal error rate (EER) of 0.7% on the VoxCeleb1 dataset using our best system. As these methods lack the ability to do cross-modal verification, we introduce a multi-view model which uses a shared classifier to map audio and video into the same space. This new approach achieves 28% EER on VoxCeleb1 in the challenging testing condition of cross-modal verification.
Domain mismatch often occurs in real applications and causes serious performance reduction on speaker verification systems. The common wisdom is to collect cross-domain data and train a multi-domain PLDA model, with the hope to learn a domain-indepen
dent speaker subspace. In this paper, we firstly present an empirical study to show that simply adding cross-domain data does not help performance in conditions with enrollment-test mismatch. Careful analysis shows that this striking result is caused by the incoherent statistics between the enrollment and test conditions. Based on this analysis, we present a decoupled scoring approach that can maximally squeeze the value of cross-domain labels and obtain optimal verification scores when the enrollment and test are mismatched. When the statistics are coherent, the new formulation falls back to the conventional PLDA. Experimental results on cross-channel test show that the proposed approach is highly effective and is a principle solution to domain mismatch.
