Speaker embeddings become growing popular in the text-independent speaker verification task. In this paper, we propose two improvements during the training stage. The improvements are both based on triplet cause the training stage and the evaluation stage of the baseline x-vector system focus on different aims. Firstly, we introduce triplet loss for optimizing the Euclidean distances between embeddings while minimizing the multi-class cross entropy loss. Secondly, we design an embedding similarity measurement network for controlling the similarity between the two selected embeddings. We further jointly train the two new methods with the original network and achieve state-of-the-art. The multi-task training synergies are shown with a 9% reduction equal error rate (EER) and detected cost function (DCF) on the 2016 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE) Test Set.

In this work, we introduce metric learning (ML) to enhance the deep embedding learning for text-independent speaker verification (SV). Specifically, the deep speaker embedding network is trained with conventional cross entropy loss and auxiliary pair
-based ML loss function. For the auxiliary ML task, training samples of a mini-batch are first arranged into pairs, then positive and negative pairs are selected and weighted through their own and relative similarities, and finally the auxiliary ML loss is calculated by the similarity of the selected pairs. To evaluate the proposed method, we conduct experiments on the Speaker in the Wild (SITW) dataset. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Learning a good speaker embedding is important for many automatic speaker recognition tasks, including verification, identification and diarization. The embeddings learned by softmax are not discriminative enough for open-set verification tasks. Angu
lar based embedding learning target can achieve such discriminativeness by optimizing angular distance and adding margin penalty. We apply several different popular angular margin embedding learning strategies in this work and explicitly compare their performance on Voxceleb speaker recognition dataset. Observing the fact that encouraging inter-class separability is important when applying angular based embedding learning, we propose an exclusive inter-class regularization as a complement for angular based loss. We verify the effectiveness of these methods for learning a discriminative embedding space on ASV task with several experiments. These methods together, we manage to achieve an impressive result with 16.5% improvement on equal error rate (EER) and 18.2% improvement on minimum detection cost function comparing with baseline softmax 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.
Recent advances in deep learning have facilitated the design of speaker verification systems that directly input raw waveforms. For example, RawNet extracts speaker embeddings from raw waveforms, which simplifies the process pipeline and demonstrates
competitive performance. In this study, we improve RawNet by scaling feature maps using various methods. The proposed mechanism utilizes a scale vector that adopts a sigmoid non-linear function. It refers to a vector with dimensionality equal to the number of filters in a given feature map. Using a scale vector, we propose to scale the feature map multiplicatively, additively, or both. In addition, we investigate replacing the first convolution layer with the sinc-convolution layer of SincNet. Experiments performed on the VoxCeleb1 evaluation dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods, and the best performing system reduces the equal error rate by half compared to the original RawNet. Expanded evaluation results obtained using the VoxCeleb1-E and VoxCeleb-H protocols marginally outperform existing state-of-the-art systems.
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).
