This paper describes the system developed by the BUT team for the fourth track of the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge, focusing on diarization on the VoxConverse dataset. The system consists of signal pre-processing, voice activity detection, speaker embedding extraction, an initial agglomera…
In this work we revisit discriminative training of the i-vector extractor component in the standard speaker verification (SV) system. The motivation of our research lies in the robustness and stability of this large generative model, which we want to preserve, and focus its power towards any intende…
This work studies the usage of the Deep Neural Network (DNN) Bottleneck (BN) features together with the traditional MFCC features in the task of i-vector-based speaker recognition. We decouple the sufficient statistics extraction by using separate GMM models for frame alignment, and for statistics n…
