DSARSR: Deep Stacked Auto-encoders Enhanced Robust Speaker Recognition (2307.02751v1)

Abstract: Speaker recognition is a biometric modality that utilizes the speaker's speech segments to recognize the identity, determining whether the test speaker belongs to one of the enrolled speakers. In order to improve the robustness of the i-vector framework on cross-channel conditions and explore the nova method for applying deep learning to speaker recognition, the Stacked Auto-encoders are used to get the abstract extraction of the i-vector instead of applying PLDA. After pre-processing and feature extraction, the speaker and channel-independent speeches are employed for UBM training. The UBM is then used to extract the i-vector of the enrollment and test speech. Unlike the traditional i-vector framework, which uses linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to reduce dimension and increase the discrimination between speaker subspaces, this research use stacked auto-encoders to reconstruct the i-vector with lower dimension and different classifiers can be chosen to achieve final classification. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better performance than the state-of-the-art method.
