Spoofing-robust Speaker Verification Using Parallel Embedding Fusion: BTU Speech Group's Approach For Asvspoof5 Challenge

Abstract

This paper introduces the parallel network-based spoofing-aware speaker verification (SASV) system developed by BTU Speech Group for the ASVspoof5 Challenge. The SASV system integrates ASV and CM systems to enhance security against spoofing attacks. Our approach employs score and embedding fusion from ASV models (ECAPA-TDNN, WavLM) and CM models (AASIST). The fused embeddings are processed using a simple DNN structure, optimizing model performance with a combination of recently proposed a-DCF and BCE losses. We introduce a novel parallel network structure where two identical DNNs, fed with different inputs, independently process embeddings and produce SASV scores. The final SASV probability is derived by averaging these scores, enhancing robustness and accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed parallel DNN structure outperforms traditional single DNN methods, offering a more reliable and secure speaker verification system against spoofing attacks.
