This paper provides an extensive summary of BUT 2016 system for the last IARPA Babel evaluations. It concentrates on multi-lingual training of both deep neural network (DNN)-based feature extraction and acoustic models including multilingual training of bidirectional Long Short Term memory networks. Next, two low-dimensional vector approaches to speaker adaptation are investigated: i-vectors and sequence-summarizing...
In this paper we propose a technique of Within-Class Covariance Correction (WCC) for Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) in Speaker Recognition to perform an unsupervised adaptation of LDA to an unseen data domain, and/or to compensate for speaker population difference among different portions of LDA training dataset. The paper follows on the study of source-normalization and inter-database variability...
This paper introduces some simplifications to the i-vector speaker recognition systems. I-vector extraction as well as training of the i-vector extractor can be an expensive task both in terms of memory and speed. Under certain assumptions, the formulas for i-vector extraction—also used in i-vector extractor training—can be simplified and lead to a faster and memory more efficient code. The first...
In this paper, we describe recent progress in i-vector based speaker verification. The use of universal background models (UBM) with full-covariance matrices is suggested and thoroughly experimentally tested. The i-vectors are scored using a simple cosine distance and advanced techniques such as Probabilistic Linear Discriminant Analysis (PLDA) and heavy-tailed variant of PLDA (PLDA-HT). Finally,...
