Lip motion reflects behavior characteristics of speakers, and thus can be used as a new kind of biometrics in speaker recognition. In the literature, lots of works used two-dimensional (2D) lip images to recognize speaker in a textdependent context. However, 2D lip easily suffers from various face orientations. To this end, in this work, we present a novel end-to-end 3D lip motion Network (3LMNet) by utilizing the sentence-level 3D lip motion (S3DLM) to recognize speakers in both the text-independent and text-dependent contexts. A new regional feedback module (RFM) is proposed to obtain attentions in different lip regions. Besides, prior knowledge of lip motion is investigated to complement RFM, where landmark-level and frame-level features are merged to form a better feature representation. Moreover, we present two methods, i.e., coordinate transformation and face posture correction to pre-process the LSD-AV dataset, which contains 68 speakers and 146 sentences per speaker. The evaluation results on this dataset demonstrate that our proposed 3LMNet is superior to the baseline models, i.e., LSTM, VGG-16 and ResNet-34, and outperforms the state-of-the-art using 2D lip image as well as the 3D face. The code of this work is released at https://github.com/wutong18/Three-Dimensional-Lip- Motion-Network-for-Text-Independent-Speaker-Recognition.

In this paper, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based speaker recognition model for extracting robust speaker embeddings. The embedding can be extracted efficiently with linear activation in the embedding layer. To understand how the s peaker recognition model operates with text-independent input, we modify the structure to extract frame-level speaker embeddings from each hidden layer. We feed utterances from the TIMIT dataset to the trained network and use several proxy tasks to study the networks ability to represent speech input and differentiate voice identity. We found that the networks are better at discriminating broad phonetic classes than individual phonemes. In particular, frame-level embeddings that belong to the same phonetic classes are similar (based on cosine distance) for the same speaker. The frame level representation also allows us to analyze the networks at the frame level, and has the potential for other analyses to improve speaker recognition.
Spatio-temporal representations in frame sequences play an important role in the task of action recognition. Previously, a method of using optical flow as a temporal information in combination with a set of RGB images that contain spatial information has shown great performance enhancement in the action recognition tasks. However, it has an expensive computational cost and requires two-stream (RGB and optical flow) framework. In this paper, we propose MFNet (Motion Feature Network) containing motion blocks which make it possible to encode spatio-temporal information between adjacent frames in a unified network that can be trained end-to-end. The motion block can be attached to any existing CNN-based action recognition frameworks with only a small additional cost. We evaluated our network on two of the action recognition datasets (Jester and Something-Something) and achieved competitive performances for both datasets by training the networks from scratch.

Recently, directly utilize raw waveforms as input is widely explored for the speaker verification system. For example, RawNet [1] and RawNet2 [2] extract feature embeddings from raw waveforms, which largely reduce the front-end computation and achiev e state-of-the-art performance. However, they do not consider the speech speed influence which is different from person to person. In this paper, we propose a novel finite-difference network to obtain speaker embeddings. It incorporates speaker speech speed by computing the finite difference between adjacent time speech pieces. Furthermore, we design a hierarchical layer to capture multiscale speech speed features to improve the system accuracy. The speaker embeddings is then input into the GRU to aggregate utterance-level features before the softmax loss. Experiment results on official VoxCeleb1 test data and expanded evaluation on VoxCeleb1-E and VoxCeleb-H protocols show our method outperforms existing state-of-the-art systems.

Speaker verification (SV) systems using deep neural network embeddings, so-called the x-vector systems, are becoming popular due to its good performance superior to the i-vector systems. The fusion of these systems provides improved performance benef iting both from the discriminatively trained x-vectors and generative i-vectors capturing distinct speaker characteristics. In this paper, we propose a novel method to include the complementary information of i-vector and x-vector, that is called generative x-vector. The generative x-vector utilizes a transformation model learned from the i-vector and x-vector representations of the background data. Canonical correlation analysis is applied to derive this transformation model, which is later used to transform the standard x-vectors of the enrollment and test segments to the corresponding generative x-vectors. The SV experiments performed on the NIST SRE 2010 dataset demonstrate that the system using generative x-vectors provides considerably better performance than the baseline i-vector and x-vector systems. Furthermore, the generative x-vectors outperform the fusion of i-vector and x-vector systems for long-duration utterances, while yielding comparable results for short-duration utterances.
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).
