让语音模型从重叠说话中直接提取目标人声特征,提升识别准确率。

Guided Speaker Embedding

  • 用目标与干扰说话者活动信息作为线索,指导模型从重叠语音中提取特征
  • 在说话人验证和说话人分离任务中显著优于传统方法,尤其在长时重叠场景下
  • 适合需要处理真实混杂语音的语音识别、会议记录等应用场景

本文提出一种引导式说话人嵌入提取系统,利用目标说话人与干扰说话人的语音活动作为线索,直接从重叠语音中提取目标说话人的嵌入特征。传统多说话人音频处理方法通常分两阶段:段级处理和段间说话人匹配,其中说话人嵌入常用于后者。现有嵌入提取方法仅使用单说话人时段,以避免干扰,但实际中长时间无重叠段往往难以获取。本文通过将目标与非目标说话人的活动信息拼接至声学特征输入模型,并约束池化时的注意力权重,使目标说话人不活跃时段的权重为零。实验表明该方法在说话人验证和说话人分离任务中均有效,尤其在长时重叠场景表现突出。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper proposes a guided speaker embedding extraction system, which extracts speaker embeddings of the target speaker using speech activities of target and interference speakers as clues. Several methods for long-form overlapped multi-speaker audio processing are typically two-staged: i) segment-level processing and ii) inter-segment speaker matching. Speaker embeddings are often used for the latter purpose. Typical speaker embedding extraction approaches only use single-speaker intervals to avoid corrupting the embeddings with speech from interference speakers. However, this often makes speaker embeddings impossible to extract because sufficiently long non-overlapping intervals are not always available. In this paper, we propose using speaker activities as clues to extract the embedding of the speaker-of-interest directly from overlapping speech. Specifically, we concatenate the activity of target and non-target speakers to acoustic features before being fed to the model. We also condition the attention weights used for pooling so that the attention weights of the intervals in which the target speaker is inactive are zero. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in speaker verification and speaker diarization.
