🎹 Speaker embedding

Relies on pyannote.audio 2.0 currently in development: see installation instructions.

This model is based on the canonical x-vector TDNN-based architecture, but with filter banks replaced with trainable SincNet features. See XVectorSincNet architecture for implementation detalis.

Basic usage

from pyannote.audio import Inference
inference = Inference("pyannote/embedding", window="whole")
embedding1 = inference("speaker1.wav")
embedding2 = inference("speaker2.wav")
# `embeddingX` is (1 x D) numpy array extracted from the file as a whole.

from scipy.spatial.distance import cdist
distance = cdist(embedding1, embedding2, metric="cosine")[0,0]
# `distance` is a `float` describing how dissimilar speakers 1 and 2 are.

Using cosine distance directly, this model reaches 2.8% equal error rate (EER) on VoxCeleb 1 test set.
This is without voice activity detection (VAD) nor probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA). Expect even better results when adding one of those.

Advanced usage

Running on GPU

inference = Inference("pyannote/embedding", window="whole", device="cuda")
embedding = inference("audio.wav")

Extract embedding from an excerpt

from pyannote.audio import Inference, Segment
inference = Inference("pyannote/embedding",
                      window="whole")
excerpt = Segment(13.37, 19.81)
embedding = inference.crop("audio.wav", excerpt)
# `embedding` is (1 x D) numpy array extracted from the file excerpt.

Extract embeddings using a sliding window

from pyannote.audio import Inference
inference = Inference("pyannote/embedding", 
                      window="sliding",
                      duration=3.0, step=1.0)
embeddings = inference("audio.wav")
# `embeddings` is a (N x D) pyannote.core.SlidingWindowFeature
# `embeddings[i]` is the embedding of the ith position of the 
# sliding window, i.e. from [i * step, i * step + duration].
