We managed to reduce the memory requirements and processing time for the i-vector extractor training so that higher dimensions can be now used while retaining the recognition accuracy. As for i-vector extraction, we managed to reduce the complexity of the algorithm with sacrificing little recognition accuracy, which makes this technique usable in small-scale devices.
Abstract
This paper introduces some simplifications to the i-vector speaker recognition systems. I-vector extraction as well as training of the i-vector extractor can be an expensive task both in terms of memory and speed. Under certain assumptions, the formulas for i-vector extraction-also used in i-vector extractor training-can be simplified and lead to a faster and memory more efficient code. The first assumption is that the GMM component alignment is constant across utterances and is given by the UBM GMM weights. The second assumption is that the i-vector extractor matrix can be linearly transformed so that its per-Gaussian components are orthogonal. We use PCA and HLDA to estimate this transform.
