Speaker Embedding Extraction with Phonetic Information
share
Speaker embeddings achieve promising results on many speaker verification tasks. Phonetic information, as an important component of speech, is rarely considered in the extraction of speaker embeddings. In this paper, we introduce phonetic information to the speaker embedding extraction based on the x-vector architecture. Two methods using phonetic vectors and multi-task learning are proposed. On the Fisher dataset, our best system outperforms the original x-vector approach by 20 respectively. Experiments conducted on NIST SRE10 further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
