This paper explores two techniques to improve the performance of text-dependent speaker verification systems based on deep neural networks. Firstly, we propose a general alignment mechanism to keep the temporal structure of each phrase and obtain a supervector with the speaker and phrase information, since both are relevant for a text-dependent verification. As we show, it is possible to use different alignment techniques to replace the global average pooling providing significant gains in performance. Moreover, we also present a novel back-end approach to train a neural network for detection tasks by optimizing the Area Under the Curve (AUC) as an alternative to the usual triplet loss function, so the system is end-to-end, with a cost function close to our desired measure of performance. As we can see in the experimental section, this approach improves the system performance, since our triplet neural network based on an approximation of the AUC (aAUC) learns how to discriminate between pairs of examples from the same identity and pairs of different identities. The different alignment techniques to produce supervectors in addition to the new back-end approach were tested on the RSR2015-Part I database for text-dependent speaker verification, providing competitive results compared to similar size networks using the global average pooling to extract supervectors and using a simple back-end or triplet loss training.

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.
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.
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.
J-vector has been proved to be very effective in text-dependent speaker verification with short-duration speech. However, the current state-of-the-art back-end classifiers, e.g. joint Bayesian model, cannot make full use of such deep features. In thi
s paper, we generalize the standard joint Bayesian approach to model the multi-faceted information in the j-vector explicitly and jointly. In our generalization, the j-vector was modeled as a result derived by a generative Double Joint Bayesian (DoJoBa) model, which contains several kinds of latent variables. With DoJoBa, we are able to explicitly build a model that can combine multiple heterogeneous information from the j-vectors. In verification step, we calculated the likelihood to describe whether the two j-vectors having consistent labels or not. On the public RSR2015 data corpus, the experimental results showed that our approach can achieve 0.02% EER and 0.02% EER for impostor wrong and impostor correct cases respectively.
Open-set speaker recognition can be regarded as a metric learning problem, which is to maximize inter-class variance and minimize intra-class variance. Supervised metric learning can be categorized into entity-based learning and proxy-based learning.
Most of the existing metric learning objectives like Contrastive, Triplet, Prototypical, GE2E, etc all belong to the former division, the performance of which is either highly dependent on sample mining strategy or restricted by insufficient label information in the mini-batch. Proxy-based losses mitigate both shortcomings, however, fine-grained connections among entities are either not or indirectly leveraged. This paper proposes a Masked Proxy (MP) loss which directly incorporates both proxy-based relationships and pair-based relationships. We further propose Multinomial Masked Proxy (MMP) loss to leverage the hardness of speaker pairs. These methods have been applied to evaluate on VoxCeleb test set and reach state-of-the-art Equal Error Rate(EER).
