Original Abstract

Recently, several end-to-end speaker verification systems based ondeep neural networks (DNNs) have been proposed. These systemshave been proven to be competitive for text-dependent tasks as wellas for text-independent tasks with short utterances. However, fortext-independent tasks with longer utterances, end-to-end systemsare still outperformed by standard i-vector + PLDA systems. In thiswork, we develop an end-to-end speaker verification system that isinitialized to mimic an i-vector + PLDA baseline. The system isthen further trained in an end-to-end manner but regularized so thatit does not deviate too far from the initial system. In this way wemitigate overfitting which normally limits the performance of endto-end systems. The proposed system outperforms the i-vector +PLDA baseline on both long and short duration utterances.
