Investigation Of Different Calibration Methods For Deep Speaker Embedding Based Verification Systems

Abstract

Deep speaker embedding extractors have already become new state-of-the-art systems in the speaker verification field. However, the problem of verification score calibration for such systems often remains out of focus. An irrelevant score calibration leads to serious issues, especially in the case of unknown acoustic conditions, even if we use a strong speaker verification system in terms of threshold-free metrics. This paper presents an investigation over several methods of score calibration: a classical approach based on the logistic regression model; the recently presented magnitude estimation network MagnetO that uses activations from the pooling layer of the trained deep speaker extractor and generalization of such approach based on separate scale and offset prediction neural networks. An additional focus of this research is to estimate the impact of score normalization on the calibration performance of the system. The obtained results demonstrate that there are no serious problems
