Original Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the behavior and performance ofspeaker embeddings and the back-end scoring model under domainand language mismatch. We present our findings regardingResNet-based speaker embedding architectures and showthat reduced temporal stride yields improved performance. Wethen consider a PLDA back-end and show how a combinationof small speaker subspace, language-dependent PLDA mixture,and nuisance-attribute projection can have a drastic impact onthe performance of the system. Besides, we present an efficientway of scoring and fusing class posterior logit vectors recentlyshown to perform well on speaker verification task. The experimentsare performed using the NIST SRE 2021 setup.
