Speaker Verification

Speaker verification (SV) aims to automatically authenticate a person's identity based on their voice, focusing on creating robust and accurate systems. Current research emphasizes improving the discriminative power of speaker embeddings through techniques like contrastive learning, disentangling confounding factors such as age and channel variations, and leveraging powerful pre-trained models such as WavLM and Whisper. These advancements are crucial for enhancing security in various applications, from access control to forensic investigations, and are driving ongoing efforts to improve robustness against spoofing attacks and noisy conditions.
