Title: | DNN-driven mixture of PLDA for robust speaker verification | Authors: | Li, N Mak, MW Chien, JT |
Issue Date: | Jun-2017 | Source: | IEEE/ACM transactions on audio, speech, and language processing, June 2017, v. 25, no. 6, special issue, p. 1371-1383 | Abstract: | The mismatch between enrollment and test utterances due to different types of variabilities is a great challenge in speaker verification. Based on the observation that the SNR-level variability or channel-type variability causes heterogeneous clusters in i-vector space, this paper proposes to apply supervised learning to drive or guide the learning of probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) mixture models. Specifically, a deep neural network (DNN) is trained to produce the posterior probabilities of different SNR levels or channel types given i-vectors as input. These posteriors then replace the posterior probabilities of indicator variables in the mixture of PLDA. The discriminative training causes the mixture model to perform more reasonable soft divisions of the i-vector space as compared to the conventional mixture of PLDA. During verification, given a test i-vector and a target-speaker's i-vector, the marginal likelihood for the same-speaker hypothesis is obtained by summing the component likelihoods weighted by the component posteriors produced by the DNN, and likewise for the different-speaker hypothesis. Results based on NIST 2012 SRE demonstrate that the proposed scheme leads to better performance under more realistic situations where both training and test utterances cover a wide range of SNRs and different channel types. Unlike the previous SNR-dependent mixture of PLDA which only focuses on SNR mismatch, the proposed model is more general and is potentially applicable to addressing different types of variability in speech. | Keywords: | Deep neural networks I-vectors Mixture of PLDA Speaker verification |
