Title
Discriminatively Trained I-Vector Extractor For Speaker Verification
Abstract
We propose a strategy for discriminative training of the i-vector extractor in speaker recognition. The original i-vector extractor training was based on the maximum-likelihood generative modeling, where the EM algorithm was used. In our approach, the i-vector extractor parameters are numerically optimized to minimize the discriminative cross-entropy error function. Two versions of the i-vector extraction are studied the original approach as defined for Joint Factor Analysis, and the simplified version, where orthogonalization of the i-vector extractor matrix is performed.
