In this paper, we address the problem of speaker recognition in challenging acoustic conditions using a novel method to extract robust speaker-discriminative speech representations. We adopt a recently proposed unsupervised adversarial invariance architecture to train a network that maps speaker embeddings extracted using a pre-trained model onto two lower dimensional embedding spaces. The embedding spaces are learnt to disentangle speaker-discriminative information from all other information present in the audio recordings, without supervision about the acoustic conditions. We analyze the robustness of the proposed embeddings to various sources of variability present in the signal for speaker verification and unsupervised clustering tasks on a large-scale speaker recognition corpus. Our analyses show that the proposed system substantially outperforms the baseline in a variety of challenging acoustic scenarios. Furthermore, for the task of speaker diarization on a real-world meeting corpus, our system shows a relative improvement of 36% in the diarization error rate compared to the state-of-the-art baseline.

Deep neural network based speaker recognition systems can easily be deceived by an adversary using minuscule imperceptible perturbations to the input speech samples. These adversarial attacks pose serious security threats to the speaker recognition s ystems that use speech biometric. To address this concern, in this work, we propose a new defense mechanism based on a hybrid adversarial training (HAT) setup. In contrast to existing works on countermeasures against adversarial attacks in deep speaker recognition that only use class-boundary information by supervised cross-entropy (CE) loss, we propose to exploit additional information from supervised and unsupervised cues to craft diverse and stronger perturbations for adversarial training. Specifically, we employ multi-task objectives using CE, feature-scattering (FS), and margin losses to create adversarial perturbations and include them for adversarial training to enhance the robustness of the model. We conduct speaker recognition experiments on the Librispeech dataset, and compare the performance with state-of-the-art projected gradient descent (PGD)-based adversarial training which employs only CE objective. The proposed HAT improves adversarial accuracy by absolute 3.29% and 3.18% for PGD and Carlini-Wagner (CW) attacks respectively, while retaining high accuracy on benign examples.
Automatic speech recognition in reverberant conditions is a challenging task as the long-term envelopes of the reverberant speech are temporally smeared. In this paper, we propose a neural model for enhancement of sub-band temporal envelopes for dere verberation of speech. The temporal envelopes are derived using the autoregressive modeling framework of frequency domain linear prediction (FDLP). The neural enhancement model proposed in this paper performs an envelop gain based enhancement of temporal envelopes and it consists of a series of convolutional and recurrent neural network layers. The enhanced sub-band envelopes are used to generate features for automatic speech recognition (ASR). The ASR experiments are performed on the REVERB challenge dataset as well as the CHiME-3 dataset. In these experiments, the proposed neural enhancement approach provides significant improvements over a baseline ASR system with beamformed audio (average relative improvements of 21% on the development set and about 11% on the evaluation set in word error rates for REVERB challenge dataset).
In this work, we propose deep latent space clustering for speaker diarization using generative adversarial network (GAN) backprojection with the help of an encoder network. The proposed diarization system is trained jointly with GAN loss, latent vari able recovery loss, and a clustering-specific loss. It uses x-vector speaker embeddings at the input, while the latent variables are sampled from a combination of continuous random variables and discrete one-hot encoded variables using the original speaker labels. We benchmark our proposed system on the AMI meeting corpus, and two child-clinician interaction corpora (ADOS and BOSCC) from the autism diagnosis domain. ADOS and BOSCC contain diagnostic and treatment outcome sessions respectively obtained in clinical settings for verbal children and adolescents with autism. Experimental results show that our proposed system significantly outperform the state-of-the-art x-vector based diarization system on these databases. Further, we perform embedding fusion with x-vectors to achieve a relative DER improvement of 31%, 36% and 49% on AMI eval, ADOS and BOSCC corpora respectively, when compared to the x-vector baseline using oracle speech segmentation.

Leveraging additional speaker information to facilitate speech separation has received increasing attention in recent years. Recent research includes extracting target speech by using the target speakers voice snippet and jointly separating all parti cipating speakers by using a pool of additional speaker signals, which is known as speech separation using speaker inventory (SSUSI). However, all these systems ideally assume that the pre-enrolled speaker signals are available and are only evaluated on simple data configurations. In realistic multi-talker conversations, the speech signal contains a large proportion of non-overlapped regions, where we can derive robust speaker embedding of individual talkers. In this work, we adopt the SSUSI model in long recordings and propose a self-informed, clustering-based inventory forming scheme for long recording, where the speaker inventory is fully built from the input signal without the need for external speaker signals. Experiment results on simulated noisy reverberant long recording datasets show that the proposed method can significantly improve the separation performance across various conditions.
This paper describes the Microsoft speaker diarization system for monaural multi-talker recordings in the wild, evaluated at the diarization track of the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge(VoxSRC) 2020. We will first explain our system design to address issues in handling real multi-talker recordings. We then present the details of the components, which include Res2Net-based speaker embedding extractor, conformer-based continuous speech separation with leakage filtering, and a modified DOVER (short for Diarization Output Voting Error Reduction) method for system fusion. We evaluate the systems with the data set provided by VoxSRCchallenge 2020, which contains real-life multi-talker audio collected from YouTube. Our best system achieves 3.71% and 6.23% of the diarization error rate (DER) on development set and evaluation set, respectively, being ranked the 1st at the diarization track of the challenge.
