How to Aggregate Acoustic Delta Features for Deep Speaker Embeddings
Youngsam Kim, Jong‐hyuk Roh, Kwantae Cho, Sangrae Cho · 2020
Speaker verification based on deep speaker embeddings (DSE) network outperformed traditional i- vectors systems. Afterward, to improve the performance, various researches have been conducting and data augmentation methods are one of them. In this paper, we focus on acoustic delta features augmentation and their aggregation methods for DSE networks, X-vectors and MobileVoxNet. For CNN-based MobileVoxNet, we re-design the architecture to aggregate delta features in deeper layer with squeeze and excitation (SE) module. Experimental results show that the proposed methods achieve performance improvement compared to not using delta features on the VoxCeleb1 test dataset. We also compare the number of computations and parameters of models to analyze efficiency of the proposed methods.
