# pytorch-kaldi-neural-speaker-embeddings
**A light weight neural speaker embeddings extraction based on Kaldi and PyTorch.** \
The repository serves as a starting point for users to reproduce and experiment several recent advances in speaker recognition literature. 
Kaldi is used for pre-processing and post-processing and PyTorch is used for training the neural speaker embeddings.
**I want to note that this repo is not meant for keeping track of state-of-the-art on speaker recognition, and most likely the models will be considered outdated in a few months (or sooner :().**

This repository contains a PyTorch+Kaldi pipeline to reproduce the core results for: 
* [Exploring the Encoding Layer and Loss Function in End-to-End Speaker and Language Recognition System](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.05160.pdf)
* [A Novel Learnable Dictionary Encoding Layer for End-to-End Language Identification](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=8462025)

With some modifications, you can easily adapt the pipeline for:
* [Angular softmax for short-duration text-independent speaker verification](https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/93f9/24fa3d9920edc10469b04c90960c03dce856.pdf)
* [Utterance-level aggregation for speaker recognition in the wild](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.10107.pdf)
* [Margin Matters: Towards More Discriminative Deep Neural Network Embeddings for Speaker Recognition](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.07317.pdf)
* [Spatial Pyramid Encoding with Convex Length Normalization for Text-Independent Speaker Verification](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.08333.pdf)

If one wants to go further, take a look at our recent work on [multi-speaker text-to-speech](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.10838.pdf), where the same speaker embeddings are employed to model speaker characterisitcs in a text-to-speech system.

Lastly, kindly cite our paper(s) if you find this repository useful. Cite both if you are kind enough!

# Overview
Neural speaker embeddings: Encoder --> Pooling --> Classification \
LDE pooling method illustration:

 <img src="imgs/LDE-6.png" width="50%">

# Requirements
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
Please also [download and properly setup Kaldi](https://kaldi-asr.org/doc/install.html). If you are stuck in this phase, this repository is liekly not for you.

# Getting Started 
The bash file `pipeline.sh` contains the 12-stage speaker recognition pipeline, including feature extraction, the neural model training and decoding/evaluation. A more detailed description of each step is described in `pipeline.sh`. To get started, simply run: 
`./pipeline.sh`

# Datasets 
The models are trained on [VoxCeleb I+II](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/voxceleb/), which is free for downloads (the trial lists are also there). One can easily adapt `pipeline.sh` for different datasets.

# Pre-Trained Models 
Due to Youtube's privacy policy, unfortunately I am not allowed to upload pre-trained models for VoxCeleb I+II.
