Introducing Discriminative Speaker Embeddings for Voice Timbre Attribute Detection
摘要
This paper presents the AuroraLab system for the Voice Timbre Attribute Detection (vTAD) 2025 Challenge. In this challenge, we propose a novel framework that introduces discriminative speaker embeddings (DSE) into the vTAD task, termed DSE-vTAD. DSE-vTAD leverages strong speaker embedding extractors to obtain discriminative speaker embeddings. In addition, unlike the challenge’s baseline system, DSE-vTAD concatenates a pair of speaker embeddings along with their Hadamard product features. Compared with the baseline system, DSE-vTAD achieves significant performance improvements. On the unseen test set, the best DSE-vTAD system achieves 91.31% Avg ACC and 8.54% Avg EER. On the seen-speaker test set, the best DSE-vTAD system achieves 97.32% Avg ACC and 2.72% Avg EER. The source code is released at https://github.com/zds-potato/DSE-vTAD .
