Abstract

International audience; The paper introduces Diff-Filter, a multichannel speech enhancement approach based on the diffusion probabilistic model, for improving speaker verification performance under noisy and reverberant conditions. It also presents a new two-step training procedure that takes the benefit of self-supervised learning. In the first stage, the Diff-Filter is trained by conducting timedomain speech filtering using a scoring-based diffusion model. In the second stage, the Diff-Filter is jointly optimized with a pre-trained ECAPA-TDNN speaker verification model under a self-supervised learning framework. We present a novel loss based on equal error rate. This loss is used to conduct selfsupervised learning on a dataset that is not labelled in terms of speakers. The proposed approach is evaluated on MultiSV, a multichannel speaker verification dataset, and shows significant improvements in performance under noisy multichannel conditions.

Abstract

International audience; Today's smart devices using speaker verification are getting equipped with multiple microphones resulting in improving spatial ambiguity and directivity. However, unlike any other speech-based applications, the performance of speaker verification degrades in far-field scenarios due to the adverse effects of a noisy environment and room reverberation. This paper presents a novel multichannel speech enhancement module based on the diffusion probabilistic model. It is used as the front-end of the ECAPA-TDNN speaker verification system in far-field scenarios under a noisy-reverberant environment. The proposed system incorporates a two-stage training approach. In the first stage, both speech enhancement and speaker verification modules are trained individually. In the second stage, both the modules are combined to jointly trained them. We use similaritypreserving knowledge distillation loss that guides the network to produce similar activation for enhanced signals to that of clean speech signals. Using joint optimization with knowledge distillation loss achieved the best performance on both the evaluation composed of synthetic clips similar to those used at training and on unseen recorded clips from the VOiCES dataset.

Abstract

International audience; Speaker verification (SV) suffers from unsatisfactory performance in far-field scenarios due to environmental noise andthe adverse impact of room reverberation. This work presents a benchmark of multichannel speech enhancement for far-fieldspeaker verification. One approach is a deep neural network-based, and the other is a combination of deep neural network andsignal processing. We integrated a DNN architecture with signal processing techniques to carry out various experiments. Ourapproach is compared to the existing state-of-the-art approaches. We examine the importance of enrollment in pre-processing,which has been largely overlooked in previous studies. Experimental evaluation shows that pre-processing can improve the SVperformance as long as the enrollment files are processed similarly to the test data and that test and enrollment occur within similarSNR ranges. Considerable improvement is obtained on the generated and all the noise conditions of the VOiCES dataset.

Abstract

International audience; Speech signals can be corrupted by environmental noise as well as room reverberation which severely affects the speaker verification performance. In this paper, we propose to combine a multichannel pre-processing pipeline including filter-and-sum network (FaSnet), Rank-1 multichannel Wiener filter, and weighted prediction error as a front-end to speaker verification. Experimental evaluation shows that the pre-processing can improve the speaker verification performance as long as the enrollment files are processed similarly to the test data and that test and enrollment occur within similar SNR ranges. Our proposed pipeline is trained on synthetic data but generalizes to unseen, real recorded clips included in the VOiCES eval dataset and improves the speaker verification performance on all the noise conditions.

Abstract

International audience; The performance of speaker recognition systems reduces dramatically in severe conditions in the presence of additive noise and/or reverberation. In some cases, there is only one kind of domain mismatch like additive noise or reverberation, but in many cases, there are more than one distortion. Finding a solution for domain adaptation in the presence of different distortions is a challenge. In this paper we investigate the situation in which there is none, one or more of the following distortions: early reverberation, full reverberation, additive noise. We propose two configurations to compensate for these distortions. In the first one a specific denoising autoencoder is used for each distortion. In the second configuration, a denoising autoencoder is used to compensate for all of these distortions simultaneously. Our experiments show that, in the coexistence of noise and reverberation, the second configuration gives better results. For example, with the second configuration we obtained 76.6% relative improvement of EER for utterances longer than 12 seconds. For other situations in the presence of only one distortion, the second configuration gives almost the same results achieved by using a specific model for each distortion.
