The DKU-DukeECE System for the Self-Supervision Speaker Verification Task of the 2021 VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge


الملخص بالإنكليزية

This report describes the submission of the DKU-DukeECE team to the self-supervision speaker verification task of the 2021 VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge (VoxSRC). Our method employs an iterative labeling framework to learn self-supervised speaker representation based on a deep neural network (DNN). The framework starts with training a self-supervision speaker embedding network by maximizing agreement between different segments within an utterance via a contrastive loss. Taking advantage of DNNs ability to learn from data with label noise, we propose to cluster the speaker embedding obtained from the previous speaker network and use the subsequent class assignments as pseudo labels to train a new DNN. Moreover, we iteratively train the speaker network with pseudo labels generated from the previous step to bootstrap the discriminative power of a DNN. Also, visual modal data is incorporated in this self-labeling framework. The visual pseudo label and the audio pseudo label are fused with a cluster ensemble algorithm to generate a robust supervisory signal for representation learning. Our submission achieves an equal error rate (EER) of 5.58% and 5.59% on the challenge development and test set, respectively.
