Toroidal Probabilistic Spherical Discriminant Analysis

2 code implementations27 Oct 2022 Anna Silnova, Niko Brümmer, Albert Swart, Lukáš Burget

It extends PSDA with the ability to model within and between-speaker variabilities in toroidal submanifolds of the hypersphere.

Probabilistic Spherical Discriminant Analysis: An Alternative to PLDA for length-normalized embeddings

3 code implementations28 Mar 2022 Niko Brümmer, Albert Swart, Ladislav Mošner, Anna Silnova, Oldřich Plchot, Themos Stafylakis, Lukáš Burget

In speaker recognition, where speech segments are mapped to embeddings on the unit hypersphere, two scoring backends are commonly used, namely cosine scoring or PLDA.

The Phonexia VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2021 System Description

no code implementations5 Sep 2021 Josef Slavíček, Albert Swart, Michal Klčo, Niko Brümmer

We describe the Phonexia submission for the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2021 (VoxSRC-21) in the unsupervised speaker verification track.

Clustering Contrastive Learning +2

Out of a hundred trials, how many errors does your speaker verifier make?

1 code implementation1 Apr 2021 Niko Brümmer, Luciana Ferrer, Albert Swart

For perfect calibration, the Bayes error-rate is upper bounded by min(EER, P, 1-P), where EER is the equal-error-rate and P, 1-P are the prior probabilities of the competing hypotheses.

Language-depedent I-Vectors for LRE15

no code implementations29 Sep 2017 Niko Brümmer, Albert Swart

A standard recipe for spoken language recognition is to apply a Gaussian back-end to i-vectors.

A Generative Model for Score Normalization in Speaker Recognition

no code implementations28 Sep 2017 Albert Swart, Niko Brummer

We propose a theoretical framework for thinking about score normalization, which confirms that normalization is not needed under (admittedly fragile) ideal conditions.

Bayesian calibration for forensic evidence reporting

no code implementations24 Mar 2014 Niko Brümmer, Albert Swart

We introduce a Bayesian solution for the problem in forensic speaker recognition, where there may be very little background material for estimating score calibration parameters.

A comparison of linear and non-linear calibrations for speaker recognition

no code implementations11 Feb 2014 Niko Brümmer, Albert Swart, David van Leeuwen

In recent work on both generative and discriminative score to log-likelihood-ratio calibration, it was shown that linear transforms give good accuracy only for a limited range of operating points.
