This paper describes our DKU-OPPO system for the 2022 Spoofing-Aware Speaker Verification (SASV) Challenge. First, we split the joint task into speaker verification (SV) and spoofing countermeasure (CM), these two tasks which are optimized…
Speaker embeddings achieve promising results on many speaker verification tasks. Phonetic information, as an important component of speech, is rarely considered in the extraction of speaker embeddings. In this paper, we introduce phonetic…
This paper presents an improved deep embedding learning method based on convolutional neural network (CNN) for text-independent speaker verification. Two improvements are proposed for x-vector embedding learning: (1) Multi-scale convolution…
Speaker verification, as a biometric authentication mechanism, has been widely used due to the pervasiveness of voice control on smart devices. However, the task of "in-the-wild" speaker verification is still challenging, considering the…
In recent years, speaker recognition systems based on raw waveform inputs have received increasing attention. However, the performance of such systems are typically inferior to the state-of-the-art handcrafted feature-based counterparts,…
In this report, we describe the speaker diarization (SD) and language diarization (LD) systems developed by our team for the Second DISPLACE Challenge, 2024. Our contributions were dedicated to Track 1 for SD and Track 2 for LD in…
Most current state-of-the-art text-independent speaker verification systems take probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) as their backend classifiers. The parameters of PLDA are often estimated by maximizing the objective…
We introduce VoxRAG, a modular speech-to-speech retrieval-augmented generation system that bypasses transcription to retrieve semantically relevant audio segments directly from spoken queries. VoxRAG employs silence-aware segmentation,…
Speech-aware large language models (LLMs) can accept speech inputs, yet their training objectives largely emphasize linguistic content or specific fields such as emotions or the speaker's gender, leaving it unclear whether they encode…
This paper introduces VoxSim, a dataset of perceptual voice similarity ratings. Recent efforts to automate the assessment of speech synthesis technologies have primarily focused on predicting mean opinion score of naturalness, leaving…
The 2020 Personalized Voice Trigger Challenge (PVTC2020) addresses two different research problems a unified setup: joint wake-up word detection with speaker verification on close-talking single microphone data and far-field multi-channel…

We propose an approach for training speaker identification models in a weakly supervised manner. We concentrate on the setting where the training data consists of a set of audio recordings and the speaker annotation is provided only at the…
Deep learning approaches are still not very common in the speaker verification field. We investigate the possibility of using deep residual convolutional neural network with spectrograms as an input features in the text-dependent speaker…
In a recent work, we presented a discriminative backend for speaker verification that achieved good out-of-the-box calibration performance on most tested conditions containing varying levels of mismatch to the training conditions. This…
Deep speaker embeddings have become the leading method for encoding speaker identity in speaker recognition tasks. The embedding space should ideally capture the variations between all possible speakers, encoding the multiple acoustic…
