Abstract: Disentangling uncorrelated information in speech utterances is a crucial
research topic within speech community. Different speech-related tasks focus on
extracting distinct speech representations while minimizing the affects of
other uncorrelated information. We present a large-scale speech corpus to
facilitate the research of speech representation disentanglement. 3D-Speaker
contains over 10,000 speakers, each of whom are simultaneously recorded by
multiple Devices, locating at different Distances, and some speakers are
speaking multiple Dialects. The controlled combinations of multi-dimensional
audio data yield a matrix of a diverse blend of speech representation
entanglement, thereby motivating intriguing methods to untangle them. The
multi-domain nature of 3D-Speaker also makes it a suitable resource to evaluate
large universal speech models and experiment methods of out-of-domain learning
and self-supervised learning. https://3dspeaker.github.io/
