UniSpeech-SAT-Base for Speaker Verification

Microsoft's UniSpeech

The model was pretrained on 16kHz sampled speech audio with utterance and speaker contrastive loss. When using the model, make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16kHz.

The model was pre-trained on:

• 60,000 hours of Libri-Light
• 10,000 hours of GigaSpeech
• 24,000 hours of VoxPopuli

Abstract Self-supervised learning (SSL) is a long-standing goal for speech processing, since it utilizes large-scale unlabeled data and avoids extensive human labeling. Recent years witness great successes in applying self-supervised learning in speech recognition, while limited exploration was attempted in applying SSL for modeling speaker characteristics. In this paper, we aim to improve the existing SSL framework for speaker representation learning. Two methods are introduced for enhancing the unsupervised speaker information extraction. First, we apply the multi-task learning to the current SSL framework, where we integrate the utterance-wise contrastive loss with the SSL objective function. Second, for better speaker discrimination, we propose an utterance mixing strategy for data augmentation, where additional overlapped utterances are created unsupervisely and incorporate during training. We integrate the proposed methods into the HuBERT framework. Experiment results on SUPERB benchmark show that the proposed system achieves state-of-the-art performance in universal representation learning, especially for speaker identification oriented tasks. An ablation study is performed verifying the efficacy of each proposed method. Finally, we scale up training dataset to 94 thousand hours public audio data and achieve further performance improvement in all SUPERB tasks..

Usage

Speaker Verification

from transformers import Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor, UniSpeechSatForXVector
from datasets import load_dataset
import torch

dataset = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_demo", "clean", split="validation")

feature_extractor = Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor.from_pretrained('microsoft/unispeech-sat-base-plus-sv')
model = UniSpeechSatForXVector.from_pretrained('microsoft/unispeech-sat-base-plus-sv')

# audio files are decoded on the fly
inputs = feature_extractor(dataset[:2]["audio"]["array"], return_tensors="pt")
embeddings = model(**inputs).embeddings
embeddings = torch.nn.functional.normalize(embeddings, dim=-1).cpu()

# the resulting embeddings can be used for cosine similarity-based retrieval
cosine_sim = torch.nn.CosineSimilarity(dim=-1)
similarity = cosine_sim(embeddings[0], embeddings[1])
threshold = 0.89  # the optimal threshold is dataset-dependent
if similarity < threshold:
    print("Speakers are not the same!")
