Abstract

While promising performance for speaker verification has been achieved by deep speaker embeddings, the advantage would reduce in the case of speaking-style variability. Speaking rate mismatch is often observed in practical speaker verification systems, which may actually degrade the system performance. To reduce intra-class discrepancy caused by speaking rate, we propose a deep representation decomposition approach with adversarial learning to learn speaking rate-invariant speaker embeddings. Specifically, adopting an attention block, we decompose the original embedding into an identity-related component and a rate-related component through multi-task training. Additionally, to reduce the latent relationship between the two decomposed components, we further propose a cosine mapping block to train the parameters adversarially to minimize the cosine similarity between the two decomposed components. As a result, identity-related features become robust to speaking rate and then are used fo
