Unit Selection Synthesis Based Data Augmentation For Fixed Phrase Speaker Verification

Abstract

Data augmentation is commonly used to help build a robust speaker verification system, especially in limited-resource case. However, conventional data augmentation methods usually focus on the diversity of acoustic environment, leaving the lexicon variation neglected. For text dependent speaker verification tasks, it's well-known that preparing training data with the target transcript is the most effectual approach to build a well-performing system, however collecting such data is time-consuming and expensive. In this work, we propose a unit selection synthesis based data augmentation method to leverage the abundant text-independent data resources. In this approach text-independent speeches of each speaker are firstly broke up to speech segments each contains one phone unit. Then segments that contain phonetics in the target transcript are selected to produce a speech with the target transcript by concatenating them in turn. Experiments are carried out on the AISHELL Speaker Verificati
