Speaker Verification via Estimating Total Variability Space Using Probabilistic Partial Least Squares
نویسندگان
چکیده
The i-vector framework is one of the most popular methods in speaker verification, and estimating a total variability space (TVS) is a key part in the i-vector framework. Current estimation methods pay less attention on the discrimination of TVS, but the discrimination is so important that it will influence the improvement of performance. So we focus on the discrimination of TVS to achieve a better performance. In this paper, a discriminative estimating method of TVS based on probabilistic partial least squares (PPLS) is proposed. In this method, the discrimination is improved by using the priori information (labels) of speaker, so both the correlation of intra-class and the discrimination of interclass are fully utilized. Meanwhile, it also introduces a probabilistic view of the partial least squares (PLS) method to overcome the disadvantage of high computational complexity and the inability of channel compensation. And also this proposed method can achieve a better performance than the traditional TVS estimation method as well as the PLS-based method.

This paper proposes a new approach to training the i-vector space using a variant of PCA with the Baum-Welch statistics for speaker verification. In eigenvoice the rank of variability space is bounded by the number of training speakers, so a variant of the probabilistic PCA approach is introduced for estimating the parameters. But this constraint doesn’t exist in i-vector model because the numb...

In this paper, we propose a Lasso based framework to generate the sparse total variability supervectors (s-vectors). Rather than the factor analysis framework, which uses a low dimensional Eigenvoice subspace to represent the mean supervector, the proposed Lasso approach utilizes the l norm regularized least square estimation to project the mean supervector on a pre-defined dictionary. The numb...

State-of-the-art speaker verification systems are based on the total variability model to compactly represent the acoustic space. However, short duration utterances only contain limited phonetic content, potentially resulting in an incomplete representation being captured by the total variability model thus leading to poor speaker verification performance. In this paper, a technique to incorpor...
