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 ASR model performance on Voxceleb1-test set are:

Release	EER(%)
05-03-21	3.2

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.pretrained import EncoderClassifier
classifier = EncoderClassifier.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/spkrec-xvect-voxceleb", savedir="pretrained_models/spkrec-xvect-voxceleb")
signal, fs =torchaudio.load('samples/audio_samples/example1.wav')
embeddings = classifier.encode_batch(signal)

Inference on GPU

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