Speaker Verification with xvector embeddings on Voxceleb

This repository provides all the necessary tools to extract speaker embeddings with a pretrained TDNN model using SpeechBrain. The system is trained on Voxceleb 1+ Voxceleb2 training data.

For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about SpeechBrain . The given model performance on Voxceleb1-test set (Cleaned) is:

Pipeline description

This system is composed of a TDNN model coupled with statistical pooling. The system is trained with Categorical Cross-Entropy Loss.

Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install SpeechBrain with the following command:

pip install speechbrain

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about SpeechBrain .

Compute your speaker embeddings

import torchaudio
from speechbrain.inference.speaker import EncoderClassifier
classifier = EncoderClassifier.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/spkrec-xvect-voxceleb", savedir="pretrained_models/spkrec-xvect-voxceleb")
signal, fs = torchaudio.load('tests/samples/ASR/spk1_snt1.wav')
embeddings = classifier.encode_batch(signal)

The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel). The code will automatically normalize your audio (i.e., resampling + mono channel selection) when calling classify_file if needed. Make sure your input tensor is compliant with the expected sampling rate if you use encode_batch and classify_batch .

Inference on GPU

To perform inference on the GPU, add run_opts={"device":"cuda"} when calling the from_hparams method.

Training

The model was trained with SpeechBrain (aa018540). To train it from scratch follows these steps:

1. Clone SpeechBrain:

git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/

1. Install it:

cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

1. Run Training:

cd  recipes/VoxCeleb/SpeakerRec/
python train_speaker_embeddings.py hparams/train_x_vectors.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder

You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) here .

Limitations

The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
