On Bottleneck Features For Text-dependent Speaker Verification Using X-vectors

Abstract

Applying x-vectors for speaker verification has recently attracted great interest, with the focus being on text-independent speaker verification. In this paper, we study x-vectors for text-dependent speaker verification (TD-SV), which remains unexplored. We further investigate the impact of the different bottleneck (BN) features on the performance of x-vectors, including the recently-introduced time-contrastive-learning (TCL) BN features and phone-discriminant BN features. TCL is a weakly supervised learning approach that constructs training data by uniformly partitioning each utterance into a predefined number of segments and then assigning each segment a class label depending on their position in the utterance. We also compare TD-SV performance for different modeling techniques, including the Gaussian mixture models-universal background model (GMM-UBM), i-vector, and x-vector. Experiments are conducted on the RedDots 2016 challenge database. It is found that the type of features has
