The standard state-of-the-art backend for text-independentspeaker recognizers that use i-vectors or x-vectors, is GaussianPLDA (G-PLDA), assisted by a Gaussianization step involvinglength normalization. G-PLDA can be trained withboth generative or discriminative methods. It has long beenknown that heavy-tailed PLDA (HT-PLDA), applied withoutlength normalization, gives similar accuracy, but at considerableextra computational cost. We have recently introduced afast scoring algorithm for a discriminatively trained HT-PLDAbackend. This paper extends that work by introducing a fast,variational Bayes, generative training algorithm. We compareold and new backends, with and without length-normalization,with i-vectors and x-vectors, on SRE10, SRE16 and SITW.
