Summary: | Speaker recognition is a challenging problem in behavioral biometrics that has been rigorously investigated over the last decade. Although numerous supervised closed-set systems inherit the power of deep neural networks, limited studies have been made on open-set speaker recognition. This paper proposes a self-supervised open-set speaker recognition that leverages the geometric properties of speaker distribution for accurate and robust speaker verification. The proposed framework consists of a deep neural network incorporating a wider viewpoint of temporal speech features and Laguerre–Voronoi diagram-based speech feature extraction. The deep neural network is trained with a specialized clustering criterion that only requires positive pairs during training. The experiments validated that the proposed system outperformed current state-of-the-art methods in open-set speaker recognition and cluster representation. |
