How to Leverage DNN-based speech enhancement for multi-channel speaker verification?
Résumé
Speaker verification (SV) suffers from unsatisfactory performance in far-field scenarios due to environmental noise and
the adverse impact of room reverberation. This work presents a benchmark of multichannel speech enhancement for far-field
speaker verification. One approach is a deep neural network-based, and the other is a combination of deep neural network and
signal processing. We integrated a DNN architecture with signal processing techniques to carry out various experiments. Our
approach is compared to the existing state-of-the-art approaches. We examine the importance of enrollment in pre-processing,
which has been largely overlooked in previous studies. Experimental evaluation shows that pre-processing can improve the SV
performance as long as the enrollment files are processed similarly to the test data and that test and enrollment occur within similar
SNR ranges. Considerable improvement is obtained on the generated and all the noise conditions of the VOiCES dataset.
