# Speaker Verification with xvector embeddings on Voxceleb

This repository provides all the necessary tools to extract speaker embeddings with a pretrained TDNN model using SpeechBrain. 
The system is trained on Voxceleb 1+ Voxceleb2 training data. 

For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io). The given ASR model performance on Voxceleb1-test set are:

| Release | EER(%) | minDCF | 
|:-------------:|:--------------:|:--------------:|
| 05-03-21 | 0.69 | 0.0821 | 


## Pipeline description
This system is composed of a TDNN model coupled with statistical pooling. The system is trained with Categorical Cross-Entropy Loss.  

## Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install SpeechBrain with the following command:

```
pip install speechbrain
```

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io).

### Compute your speaker embeddings

```python
import torchaudio
from speechbrain.pretrained import SpeakerRecognition
verification = SpeakerRecognition.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/spkrec-xvect-voxceleb", savedir="pretrained_models/spkrec-xvect-voxceleb")
signal, fs =torchaudio.load('samples/audio_samples/example1.wav')
embeddings = verification.encode(signal)
```
