In far-field speaker verification, the performance of speaker embeddings is susceptible to degradation when there is a mismatch between the conditions of enrollment and test speech. To solve this problem, we propose the feature-level and instance-level transfer learning in the teacher-student framework to learn a domain-invariant embedding space. For the feature-level knowledge transfer, we develop the contrastive loss to transfer knowledge from teacher model to student model, which can not only decrease the intra-class distance, but also enlarge the inter-class distance. Moreover, we propose the instance-level pairwise distance transfer method to force the student model to preserve pairwise instances distance from the well optimized embedding space of the teacher model. On FFSVC 2020 evaluation set, our EER on Full-eval trials is relatively reduced by 13.9% compared with the fusion system result on Partial-eval trials of Task2. On Task1, compared with the winners DenseNet result on Partial-eval trials, our minDCF on Full-eval trials is relatively reduced by 6.3%. On Task3, the EER and minDCF of our proposed method on Full-eval trials are very close to the result of the fusion system on Partial-eval trials. Our results also outperform other competitive domain adaptation methods.

This paper describes the systems submitted by team HCCL to the Far-Field Speaker Verification Challenge. Our previous work in the AIshell Speaker Verification Challenge 2019 shows that the powerful modeling abilities of Neural Network architectures c an provide exceptional performance for this kind of task. Therefore, in this challenge, we focus on constructing deep Neural Network architectures based on TDNN, Resnet and Res2net blocks. Most of the developed systems consist of Neural Network embeddings are applied with PLDA backend. Firstly, the speed perturbation method is applied to augment data and significant performance improvements are achieved. Then, we explore the use of AMsoftmax loss function and propose to join a CE-loss branch when we train model using AMsoftmax loss. In addition, the impact of score normalization on performance is also investigated. The final system, a fusion of four systems, achieves minDCF 0.5342, EER 5.05% on task1 eval set, and achieves minDCF 0.5193, EER 5.47% on task3 eval set.

This paper presents a far-field text-dependent speaker verification database named HI-MIA. We aim to meet the data requirement for far-field microphone array based speaker verification since most of the publicly available databases are single channel close-talking and text-independent. The database contains recordings of 340 people in rooms designed for the far-field scenario. Recordings are captured by multiple microphone arrays located in different directions and distance to the speaker and a high-fidelity close-talking microphone. Besides, we propose a set of end-to-end neural network based baseline systems that adopt single-channel data for training. Moreover, we propose a testing background aware enrollment augmentation strategy to further enhance the performance. Results show that the fusion systems could achieve 3.29% EER in the far-field enrollment far field testing task and 4.02% EER in the close-talking enrollment and far-field testing task.
Large performance degradation is often observed for speaker ver-ification systems when applied to a new domain dataset. Givenan unlabeled target-domain dataset, unsupervised domain adaptation(UDA) methods, which usually leverage adversarial training strate-gies, are commonly used to bridge the performance gap caused bythe domain mismatch. However, such adversarial training strategyonly uses the distribution information of target domain data and cannot ensure the performance improvement on the target domain. Inthis paper, we incorporate self-supervised learning strategy to the un-supervised domain adaptation system and proposed a self-supervisedlearning based domain adaptation approach (SSDA). Compared tothe traditional UDA method, the new SSDA training strategy canfully leverage the potential label information from target domainand adapt the speaker discrimination ability from source domainsimultaneously. We evaluated the proposed approach on the Vox-Celeb (labeled source domain) and CnCeleb (unlabeled target do-main) datasets, and the best SSDA system obtains 10.2% Equal ErrorRate (EER) on the CnCeleb dataset without using any speaker labelson CnCeleb, which also can achieve the state-of-the-art results onthis corpus.
Recently, ad-hoc microphone array has been widely studied. Unlike traditional microphone array settings, the spatial arrangement and number of microphones of ad-hoc microphone arrays are not known in advance, which hinders the adaptation of tradition al speaker verification technologies to ad-hoc microphone arrays. To overcome this weakness, in this paper, we propose attention-based multi-channel speaker verification with ad-hoc microphone arrays. Specifically, we add an inter-channel processing layer and a global fusion layer after the pooling layer of a single-channel speaker verification system. The inter-channel processing layer applies a so-called residual self-attention along the channel dimension for allocating weights to different microphones. The global fusion layer integrates all channels in a way that is independent to the number of the input channels. We further replace the softmax operator in the residual self-attention with sparsemax, which forces the channel weights of very noisy channels to zero. Experimental results with ad-hoc microphone arrays of over 30 channels demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. For example, the multi-channel speaker verification with sparsemax achieves an equal error rate (EER) of over 20% lower than oracle one-best system on semi-real data sets, and over 30% lower on simulation data sets, in test scenarios with both matched and mismatched channel numbers.
In this report, we describe the Beijing ZKJ-NPU team submission to the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2021 (VoxSRC-21). We participated in the fully supervised speaker verification track 1 and track 2. In the challenge, we explored various ki nds of advanced neural network structures with different pooling layers and objective loss functions. In addition, we introduced the ResNet-DTCF, CoAtNet and PyConv networks to advance the performance of CNN-based speaker embedding model. Moreover, we applied embedding normalization and score normalization at the evaluation stage. By fusing 11 and 14 systems, our final best performances (minDCF/EER) on the evaluation trails are 0.1205/2.8160% and 0.1175/2.8400% respectively for track 1 and 2. With our submission, we came to the second place in the challenge for both tracks.
