The I4U consortium was established to facilitate a joint entry to NIST speaker recognition evaluations (SRE). The latest edition of such joint submission was in SRE 2018, in which the I4U submission was among the best-performing systems. SRE18 also marks the 10-year anniversary of I4U consortium into NIST SRE series of evaluation. The primary objective of the current paper is to summarize the results and lessons learned based on the twelve sub-systems and their fusion submitted to SRE18. It is also our intention to present a shared view on the advancements, progresses, and major paradigm shifts that we have witnessed as an SRE participant in the past decade from SRE08 to SRE18. In this regard, we have seen, among others, a paradigm shift from supervector representation to deep speaker embedding, and a switch of research challenge from channel compensation to domain adaptation.

This paper describes the systems submitted by the department of electronic engineering, institute of microelectronics of Tsinghua university and TsingMicro Co. Ltd. (THUEE) to the NIST 2019 speaker recognition evaluation CTS challenge. Six subsystems
, including etdnn/ams, ftdnn/as, eftdnn/ams, resnet, multitask and c-vector are developed in this evaluation.
This work describes the speaker verification system developed by Human Language Technology Laboratory, National University of Singapore (HLT-NUS) for 2019 NIST Multimedia Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE). The multimedia research has gained attent
ion to a wide range of applications and speaker recognition is no exception to it. In contrast to the previous NIST SREs, the latest edition focuses on a multimedia track to recognize speakers with both audio and visual information. We developed separate systems for audio and visual inputs followed by a score level fusion of the systems from the two modalities to collectively use their information. The audio systems are based on x-vector based speaker embedding, whereas the face recognition systems are based on ResNet and InsightFace based face embeddings. With post evaluation studies and refinements, we obtain an equal error rate (EER) of 0.88% and an actual detection cost function (actDCF) of 0.026 on the evaluation set of 2019 NIST multimedia SRE corpus.
Attention-based encoder-decoder (AED) models have achieved promising performance in speech recognition. However, because of the end-to-end training, an AED model is usually trained with speech-text paired data. It is challenging to incorporate extern
al text-only data into AED models. Another issue of the AED model is that it does not use the right context of a text token while predicting the token. To alleviate the above two issues, we propose a unified method called LST (Learn Spelling from Teachers) to integrate knowledge into an AED model from the external text-only data and leverage the whole context in a sentence. The method is divided into two stages. First, in the representation stage, a language model is trained on the text. It can be seen as that the knowledge in the text is compressed into the LM. Then, at the transferring stage, the knowledge is transferred to the AED model via teacher-student learning. To further use the whole context of the text sentence, we propose an LM called causal cloze completer (COR), which estimates the probability of a token, given both the left context and the right context of it. Therefore, with LST training, the AED model can leverage the whole context in the sentence. Different from fusion based methods, which use LM during decoding, the proposed method does not increase any extra complexity at the inference stage. We conduct experiments on two scales of public Chinese datasets AISHELL-1 and AISHELL-2. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of leveraging external text-only data and the whole context in a sentence with our proposed method, compared with baseline hybrid systems and AED model based systems.
In this work, we learn a shared encoding representation for a multi-task neural network model optimized with connectionist temporal classification (CTC) and conventional framewise cross-entropy training criteria. Our experiments show that the multi-t
ask training not only tackles the complexity of optimizing CTC models such as acoustic-to-word but also results in significant improvement compared to the plain-task training with an optimal setup. Furthermore, we propose to use the encoding representation learned by the multi-task network to initialize the encoder of attention-based models. Thereby, we train a deep attention-based end-to-end model with 10 long short-term memory (LSTM) layers of encoder which produces 12.2% and 22.6% word-error-rate on Switchboard and CallHome subsets of the Hub5 2000 evaluation.
Multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) models have shown great promise in recent years because of the simplified model training and deployment process. Conventional methods either train a universal multilingual model without taking any langu
age information or with a 1-hot language ID (LID) vector to guide the recognition of the target language. In practice, the user can be prompted to pre-select several languages he/she can speak. The multilingual model without LID cannot well utilize the language information set by the user while the multilingual model with LID can only handle one pre-selected language. In this paper, we propose a novel configurable multilingual model (CMM) which is trained only once but can be configured as different models based on users choices by extracting language-specific modules together with a universal model from the trained CMM. Particularly, a single CMM can be deployed to any user scenario where the users can pre-select any combination of languages. Trained with 75K hours of transcribed anonymized Microsoft multilingual data and evaluated with 10-language test sets, the proposed CMM improves from the universal multilingual model by 26.0%, 16.9%, and 10.4% relative word error reduction when the user selects 1, 2, or 3 languages, respectively. CMM also performs significantly better on code-switching test sets.
